In a small town in Germany, there lived three brothers. The eldest brother was strong and brave, the second brother was clever and resourceful, and the youngest brother was kind and innocent. Their lives were originally peaceful until one day, a mysterious golden apple appeared in front of them. This golden apple glowed with a strange light, as if it concealed endless power and wealth.
The eldest brother said, "This golden apple should belong to me. I'm the strongest and can protect it." The second brother disagreed, "I'm the smartest. Only when the golden apple is in my custody can its greatest value be realized." The youngest brother also said, "I'm the kindest. The golden apple will be well - treated with me." Thus, the three brothers began to quarrel over this golden apple, and none of them was willing to give in.
Their quarrel grew louder and louder, attracting the onlookers of the neighbors around. The neighbors tried to persuade them, but the three brothers were so flushed with anger during the argument that they simply wouldn't listen. In the intense dispute, the golden apple suddenly emitted a dazzling light, and there seemed to be a voice in the light saying, "Your quarreling like this is useless. If you are not united, none of you can obtain my power."
The three brothers were startled by this light and voice and temporarily stopped quarreling. The eldest brother scratched his head and said, "Maybe it's really wrong for us to keep arguing like this." The second brother also said thoughtfully, "But what should we do?" The youngest brother said, "Let's share this golden apple together. Its power belongs to the three of us."
After hearing what the youngest brother said, the eldest brother thought it made a great deal of sense. He said, "The youngest brother is right. We are brothers and shouldn't damage our relationship just for a golden apple." The second brother also nodded in agreement, "Let's keep this golden apple together and use its power to do some good deeds for the town." So, the three brothers stopped quarreling and held the golden apple tightly.
When they united and held the golden apple, the golden apple glowed again. This time, the light was soft and warm. The power of the golden apple began to spread throughout the town. The crops in the town grew more vigorously, people's bodies became healthier, and the town was filled with laughter.
Since then, the three brothers have understood the power of unity. They guarded the golden apple together and also safeguarded the happiness of the town.
