Answer:
Once upon a time, there were two brothers named Ed and Ted who always competed against each other. No matter how hard Ted tried, Ed always did everything better.
See, Ed was 1 year older than his brother Ted. And when they measured their heights, Ed was always one foot taller than his brother.
They loved kicking the soccer ball, but no matter how hard Ted tried, Ed always kicked the ball farther than his brother Ted. When they played basketball too, Ed always jumped higher than his brother too. Finally, when they ran to the finish line, Ed was always a couple of seconds faster than Ted.
Ted was going to give up on being the best because his brother was always better than everything he did.
Ed and Ted were both exhausted. Their mom called them back in the house for dinner. They sat down at the table but it was Ted who was hungrier than his brother because he ate his whole meal.
At that point, both boys realized that you can’t be better at everything than your brother in life.
Answer:
One day, the old barber died. All his sons decided to start their own salons after their father died. They opened their salons on the same street.
The youngest son put up a board outside his salon saying, ‘This is a GOOD barber!’. The second son noticed the board and decided to put up a board outside his salon saying, ”This barber is BETTER than the other barber on the street”. The eldest son wanted to outsmart his brothers so he put up a board that said, ”This is the BEST barber on the street”.
