Passage:

(When the friend went to visit the youngest son, he, too, welcomed him with love and
respect. But he said that he had a confession to make. "The sack of rice was lying with me fora
long time. But then I had an idea. I often go to a neighboring form to help them with the work. I
borrowed an unused plot of land from the farmer. I exchanged the sack of rice for paddy and sowed
the paddy in the plot. Fortunately, the crop grew well and yielded twenty-five sacks of rice. I have
kept back five of the sacks and sold twenty of them. Here's the money. If you allow, I would like to
keep a part of it as my share considering the labor and money I spent to get it all done."
