The three farmer’s son
Once upon a time, there lived a sick poor farmer aid his three sons: Bill, Thomas, and john. Being on the point of death, the father bequeathed his things to them. Bill inherited his cow, Thomas got his plow, and john received his plant’s seeds. Soon afterward, their father died. Bill and Thomas decided to go out from their small hut and lived their life alone. When their little brother asked them to lend him their plow and cow, they refused to help and mocked him. Then they sold their cow and plow and spent the money without thinking of the future. John then couldn’t help but worked hard by himself to grow the seeds without any help from his brothers.
Years passed, john had gathered the sweet fruits of his sweats and hard works in the past and thus became a rich farmer. One day when he was buying some fruits in the market, somebody stole his wallet. As he ran to get his wallet back, the thief hit a beggar and fell down. John then realized that the thief and the beggar were his own brothers. Bill and Thomas then begged for their little brother forgiveness of being so arrogant and selfish. After listening to his brothers’ stories, john invited his brothers to live together with him. The three then worked together and became great and rich farmers.

Tiga Anak Petani
Dahulu kala, hiduplah seorang petani miskin yang sakit dan dibantu oleh ketiga anaknya: Bill, Thomas, dan John. Berada di ambang kematian, sang ayah mewariskan beberapa hal kepada mereka. Bill mewarisi sapinya, Thomas mendapat alat bajak, dan John menerima bibit tanaman nya. Segera setelah itu, ayah mereka meninggal. Bill dan Thomas memutuskan untuk pergi keluar dari gubuk kecil mereka dan menjalani hidup mereka sendiri. Ketika adik mereka meminta mereka untuk meminjamkan bajak dan sapi, mereka menolak untuk membantu dan mengolok-oloknya. Kemudian mereka menjual sapi dan bajak mereka dan menghabiskan uang tanpa memikirkan masa depan. John kemudian tidak bisa membantu tetapi bekerja keras sendiri untuk menumbuhkan benih tanpa bantuan dari saudara-saudaranya.
Tahun-tahun berlalu, john telah mengumpulkan buah manis dari keringat dan kerja keras di masa lalu dan dengan demikian ia menjadi seorang petani kaya. Suatu hari ketika ia membeli beberapa buah-buahan di pasar, seseorang mencuri dompetnya. Saat ia berlari untuk mendapatkan dompetnya kembali, pencuri itu menabrak pengemis dan terjatuh. John kemudian menyadari bahwa pencuri dan pengemis itu adalah saudaranya sendiri. Bill dan Thomas kemudian memohon pengampunan pada adik mereka karena telah menjadi begitu sombong dan egois. Setelah mendengarkan cerita saudara-saudaranya, John mengajak saudara-saudaranya untuk hidup bersama dengan dia. Ketiganya kemudian bekerja bersama-sama dan menjadi petani yang hebat dan kaya.
