Gold hole, silver hole

Their parent died, left them valuable assets. They were two boys. They still lived together in their parent’s house till the old brother got married. After the old brother married, he wanted to divide their parent’s assets. Therefore, he wrote an agreement paper.
“This is the time we need to divide our parent’s assets.” He said, “We both need private lives”.
 “How will we divide?” said the young brother.
“All things our parent left were in three types:  male, female and neutral. Because you are younger then me, I will give you all things which were male I will get things which were female and neutral. If you agreed, sign you name on this paper”, said the old brother.
The young innocently thought that his brother was very kind, giving him good things so he signed his name on the paper. They started separating.
“This house is mine. This female buffalo is mine. This plow is mine, This jar is mine….” said the old brother.
From morning to afternoon, almost things belonged to the old brother while the young brother seemed not to have anything. There was nothing which was male. At last, he grabbed a broad, heavy knife placed on ground.
“This is male kinfe”, he shouted, “It belongs to me”.
He brought the knife and went away while his brother was laughing.
The young brother had to work as a woodcutter to live. Because he didn’t have house so he used to ask others to stay in their house. He also slept in village hall or restaurants, sometime. Though, he always tried to work hard that helped him not need to beg others to have money for food.
One night, he woke up after a sleep. Though that sun had risen up he find the way to the forest but he’s wrong that was light spread from the moon. Until he stood at the edge of the woods, he realized it was night. He found an ancient tree, helped himself lie on ground and slept. But there was place monkeys used to come and play. That night monkeys came but there had a person lying on. They though that was a corpses so they told others to bury him. He woke up while they were bringing him. Intended to scream but he stopped he wanted to know what they would do. Later, he heard the mokeys told.
“Don’t bury in the hole containing gold. Bury in the hole containing silver”. But the leader of them, a gorilla, said:
“Burry in the hole containing gold, not bury in the hole containing silver”.
Then, the monkeys brought him far away, placed him down and came back the tree. Saw gold which was lying on ground he was very happy. He waited for the money going away, took some gold and filled full his pocket. Later, he made his way out the forest. He used the gold to buy a house, fields… his life turned more easily.
His story, a woodcutter caught gold in forest, traveled through the village. The old brother heard the story but he didn’t believe it much. When their father's death anniversary, the young brother made a feast and invited his brother to participate. The old brother couldn’t hide his surprise as he saw what his brother had now.
“Omg! How can you have the things? You must catch gold”, he said.
The young brother told him entire his story. After he heard the story, the old brother borrowed his brother the knife. He waited for full moon, brought the knife to the forest. He lied on the ancient tree and waited for the mokeys. Course, that night the monkeys came and one more time, they saw a corpse. They took him away.
“Don’t bury in the hole containing gold. Bury in the hole containing silver”, sang the monkeys
“The hole contains gold! The hole contains gold!” yelled the old brother, raising his head.
Immediately, the monkeys threw him away and ran toward any direction. He rolled down mountain slope his head banged on stone. He died.
The end.🎭🎭🎭

Danaus

Loud was the song of the Muses about Danaus, first of a line of great kings and heroes. King Danaus of Libya had fifty daughters, his brother, King Aegyptus, had fifty sons. The fifty sons wanted to marry the fifty daughters, but they were rough and rowdy and King Danaus did not want them for sons-in-law. He feared that they might carry off his daughters by force, so secretly he built a ship with fifty oars and fled with his daughters. The fifty princesses pulled at the oars and rowed the ship across the wide sea. They reached Argos, in Greece, and when the people there saw the king standing in the prow of a gorgeous ship rowed by princesses, they were awed. They were certain that Danaus had been sent by the gods, and made him their king. Danaus was a good ruler, and peace and happiness reigned in Argos until one day another splendid ship arrived. And who should be at the oars but King Aegyptus' fifty sons, who had come to claim their brides. Danaus did not dare to oppose th...

Briareus, Gyges and Cottus

BRIAREOS (Briareus) was one of the Hekantonkheires (Hecatoncheires), three primordial hundred-handed, fifty-headed storm giants. He was more specifically a god of sea-storms and in this guise he was often named Aigaion (Of the Aegean). Briareos wed Poseidon 's daughter Kymopoleia ("Wave-Ranging") and dwelt with her in the depths of the sea. His two brothers, on the other hand, were appointed guardians of the gates of the storm-pit Tartaros. According to some Aigaios (Aegaeus) was a storm-giant ally of the Titanes and father of Briareos instead of a just a by-name of Briareos himself. AEGAEON (Aigaiôn), a son of Uranus by Gaea . Aegaeon and his brothers Gyges and Cottus are known under the name of the Uranids, and are described as huge monsters with a hundred arms (hekatoncheires) and fifty heads. Most writers mention the third Uranid under the name of Briareus instead of Aegaeon, which is explained in a passage of Homer, who says that men called him Aegaeon, but ...

Sisyphus

SISYPHUS, son of Aeolus, married Atlas ’s daughter Merope, the Pleiad, who bore him Glaucus , Ornytion , and Sinon, and owned a fine herd of cattle on the Isthmus of Corinth. b. Near him lived Autolycus , son of Chione , whose twin-brother Philammon was begotten by Apollo , though Autolycus himself claimed Hermes as his father. c. Now, Autolycus was a past master in theft, Hermes having given him the power of metamorphosing whatever beasts he stole, from horned to unhorned, or from black to white, and contrariwise. Thus although Sisyphus noticed that his own herds grew steadily smaller while those of Autolycus increased, he was unable at first to accuse him of theft; and therefore, one day, engraved the inside of all his cattle’s hooves with the monogram SS or, some say, with the words ‘Stolen by Autolycus’. That night Autolycus helped himself as usually and at dawn hoof-prints along the road provided Sisyphus with sufficient evidence to summon neighbours in witness of the th...
