The Farmer and The Well
One day, a farmer was looking for a water source for his farm, so he bought a well
from his neighbor.
The neighbor, however, was cunning.
The next day, as the farmer came to draw water from his well, the neighbor refused to
let him take any water.
When the farmer asked why, the neighbor replied,
“I sold you the well, not the water,” and walked away.
The farmer went to the king to ask for justice. He explained what had happened to
the king.
The king asked the neighbor,
“Why don’t you let the farmer take water from the well?
You did sell the well to the farmer?”
The neighbor replied,
“My lord, I did sell the well to the farmer but not the water within it.
He has no right to draw water from the well.”
The king said, “Look, since you sold the well, you have no right to keep the water
in the farmer’s well.
Either you pay rent to the farmer or take it out immediately.”
Realizing that his scheme had failed, the neighbor apologized and went home.

Three Good Friends
Daniel, Jimmy, and Luke are good friends.
They go to the same high school and will apply for college next year.
They pay attention to their studies because they want to go to a good school.
However, even with their hard work, the three of them still get a lot of stress from
their schoolwork.
“The winter vacation is coming; let’s go camping in the mountains,” said Daniel.
After their parents said it was okay to go, the three friends started for the mountains.
At the campsite, Luke got some wood to build a fire. Daniel helped Jimmy put up the tent.
The mountain air was really fresh. After a game of baseball, the boys went to bed.
During the night, Daniel woke Jimmy and Luke up.
He said,” Hey! Look at the pretty stars! They are amazing!”
Jimmy said, “Yes, beautiful! Schoolwork has caused us much pain.
We should enjoy our lives and our friendship.
What do you think about the stars, Luke?”
Luke’s short answer made them jump up with shock.
Can you guess what he said?
“Where is our tent?”
