Two brothers once lived in a period that is very, very old, when the sea, the lakes, the rivers, and all the waters of the earth were sweet. One was rich, whereas the other was poor. There was nothing that the wealthy man didn't have! Fields and vineyards, orchards and pergolas, horses and cows, lambs and goats. And he forced his poor brother to work in the fields all day long like a slave. Up until the impoverished brother eventually moved to seek his fortune. And that's how our story begins!
