The Five Brothers

The Five Brothers

Long ago, five brothers in China looked alike. First Brother was strong. Second Brother could fly. Third Brother could hear everything. Fourth Brother had an iron-hard body. Fifth Brother could hold his breath, and his tears became a river.

Once, Fifth Brother picked an apple from the garden of the magistrate.

The magistrate put Fifth Brother in jail.

The magistrate told Fifth Brother to get a treasure from Fire Island. Then he would be free. Fire Island was on a lake. A dragon watched the treasure.

That night, far away, Third Brother heard Fifth Brother call for help. The brothers wanted to help him get the treasure.
