There was a dad who had 3 sons . None of them went to work or did anything useful . The dad was getting worried and slowly as days went the dad fell sick .

.

The dad called all the 3 of them and told them that he is worried that he would die told them all about all the properties that he had made over time . He said he would like to hand over the money he made only to one of the son's who is really really wise. .

The sons asked the dad how he wanted them to prove . The dad gave each son a house and asked them to fill up the house with the limited money he gave.

.

The first son married a girl and the girl gave him an idea . She asked him to buy many many wodden logs and fill up the house with the money his dad gave . The first son did that .

.

The second son got married to a girl and she suggested him to buy tons and tons of Hay and fill the house and so did the second son .

.

The third son married a blind girl . The girl suggested to her husband that he would buy a lamp and fill the light with brightness and there is nothing more than clear brightness that can fill any place properly . So did the 3rd son .

.

The 3 sons reported to the dad and said what they have done and asked the dad to visit thier respective houses . The dad went and was very disappointed by the first 2 sons and said he was not giving to him that responsibility of taking care of his money . He had a wonderful feeling in the 3rd son's house and told him that he was very wise to have married such a girl who not only has brightened the house but also his full life and gave the responsibility of handling his properties to the 3rd son.

.

There could be many things that monay can buy to fill up a place but by being simple and humble we could fill up hearts.
