once upon a time there were two brothers
who lived in a village
norbu was the older brother and he
inherited all of their father's land and
money he was very greedy and threw his
younger brother
out empty-handed
nobu are you there
it's your brother
nobu
please give me some food for my starving
children please
you want food
take this
food you talk to me about food well i'm
starving too trying to lose weight get
out of my sight
all right
okay
but we will be back later
norbu and his wife chased away humbu and
his family and didn't give them a bite
to eat leaving them all to starve
the winter was long and cold and we were
returned home every day with an empty
bowl
spring is still so far away
i can't find a job and we have nothing
to eat
i'm so sorry children i have nothing to
give you
sorry
was starving too but watching his
children suffering was even more painful
to him
the cold harsh winter finally ended and
spring arrived wandering the streets in
search of work humble came upon a
swallow with a broken leg
what's this
a swallow
oh
poor thing
it's got a broken leg
took the injured swallow home with him
broken leg and took care of it until it
could fly again
a few days later
and his wife were working hard in their
garden trying to grow some vegetables
isn't that
it must be that swallow you healed a few
days ago
yes
i think it is and look a gourd seed he's
brought you a little present to pay you
back for your kindness oh how sweet of
him do you think we should plant it dear
huh why not
let's try okay
that same night a miracle occurred
the tiny sea grew bigger and bigger with
amazing speed until it was large enough
to bear food overnight
but
this is impossible
together
suddenly
they would never have to fear poverty
again
word of hungbu's sudden prosperity soon
reached the ears of his brother norbu
who became very jealous
it's not fair that they're richer than
us now
annoyed norbu went to visit humbu to see
if the stories were true
are you there hungu
how have you been
what brings you here my brother well
well just look at you
is this my poor little
brother i can't tell you how happy i am
to see you so well off
norbu concealed his true feelings and
pretended to be glad for his brother
hoping to learn the secret of his
newfound wealth really
ah so that's it a gift from a grateful
swallow
that's so easy i will be even richer now
sat on their porch all day long waiting
for an injured swallow to appear i will
grow old and die waiting for your stupid
swallow this is ridiculous i say oh
where of all the swallows gun
wait i have an idea
why don't we stop this pointless waiting
and catch us swallow ourselves
tired of waiting for an injured swallow
to come along norbo and his wife resolve
to grab a healthy swallow break its leg
and then heal it
there i've healed you
now you can go swallow fly along and
bring me back a magic gourd seed all
right
hey remember you owe us for our care hmm
the poor terrified swallow trembled in
norbert's hands when he released it it
flew away as fast as it could with the
bandage still on its leg
one morning the swallow returned to
norway's house
hey look he's brought us our board
here it is
grabbed the seat and planted it in his
garden right away
norbu was so excited and anxious that
night that he didn't sleep a wink
meanwhile the gourd sea grew and grew
and turned into a large heavy gourd by
morning
as soon as the sun came up norbu and his
wife ran up to see their magic gourd and
begin sawing it open
come on why push harder push i say push
come on woman
surprisingly the gourd resisted their
efforts until the sun had almost sat
on my back
but it wasn't treasure that came pouring
out it was a huge hideous goblin
what did you expect norbu after throwing
out your brother to starve and hurting a
defenseless sparrow do you deserve to be
rewarded do you
do you
we will
left with nothing but each other they
wept over their sad fate
oh we have been cursed for our great end
cruelty and now we are ruined what do we
do now
he was ashamed to remember all the times
he had rejected his brother's place for
help but he had nowhere else to go
um
are you in
humble answered his brother's call and
rushed out to greet him
oh my brother
what has happened to you are you okay
please help me we are so hungry
we have nothing nothing to eat
we hoped you might give us something to
eat brother-in-law
oh
why
of course i will
come on in
we have plenty of food humbu had a warm
and generous heart unlike norbu and
gladly welcomed his brother i'm so sorry
can you ever forgive me
before you are my brother
we are a family you never need to ask me
for forgiveness
please come in and let us forget the
past oh
you are so good to us
was overcome with remorse over his ugly
behavior and learned to be generous and
kind he lived happily ever after with
hunger and his family
