11. THE THREE BROTHERS

(Looking for the shortest stories, to start my story code)

Man has 3 sons, 1 house, nothing else.

All want the house. Cannot divide: only has value as a whole.

Son who makes best object gets house.

blacksmith, barber, fencing-master.

barber shaved hare while running


blacksmith shoed horse while running

He got the house, BUT THEY ALL LIVED IN IT.

Happily ever after. When one died, so much love that the others died too, laid in same grave.
