Father: When I die, the wisest son can have the farm.
Brother 3: Who is the wisest son? Brothers 1 and 2: Me! Father: Climb the mountain and ask the Buddha.
The brothers climb the mountain.

But soon, rocks block their path. Brother 2: I'm stronger than you. Let me move the rocks.

vegetable stew. Brother 1: I'm bigger than you. Let me finish the stew.
