三    兄    弟   

 从    前   ， 有    个    人    有    三    个    儿    子   ， 除    了    他    所    住    的    那    栋    房    子    外    便    没    有    什    么    财    产    了   。 三    个    儿    子    都    想    在    父    亲    死    后    得    到    那    房    子   ， 可    老    人    对    他    们    仨    一    样    钟    爱   ， 不    知    该    把    房    子    给    谁    好   。 不    过    他    可    以    把    房    子    卖    掉    再    把    钱    分    给    他    们    呀   ！ 可    房    子    是    祖    上    传    下    来    的   ， 老    人    舍    不    得    卖    它   。 终    于    他    想    出    了    个    好    主    意   ， 他    把    三    个    儿    子    叫    到    跟    前    说   ：" 现    在    你    们    都    出    门    去    各    学    一    门    艺   ， 待    学    成    归    来   ， 看    谁    的    本    事    最    高   ， 房    子    就    归    谁   。"

 儿    子    们    挺    赞    同    这    主    意   。 老    大    要    当    铁    匠   ， 老    二    要    做    剃    头    匠   ， 老    三    打    算    做    名    剑    客   。 他    们    约    好    了    回    家   " 比    武   " 的    时    间    便    各    奔    前    程    了   。

 事    情    很    凑    巧   ， 他    们    各    自    找    了    位    技    艺    高    超    的    师    傅   ， 得    以    学    习    上    乘    的    技    艺   。 铁    匠    专    为    国    王    的    坐    骑    钉    掌   ， 心    想   ：" 房    子    肯    定    是    我    的    啦   ！" 剃    头    匠    专    为    达    官    贵    人    修    面   ， 也    认    为    房    子    非    他    莫    属   。 学    剑    术    的    小    弟    却    没    有    那    么    顺    利   ， 屡    次    挨    打   ， 不    过    还    是    咬    紧    牙    关    挺    过    来    了   ， 他    想   ：" 如    果    我    怕    挨    打   ， 就    永    远    得    不    到    房    子    啦   ！"

 约    定    的    时    间    到    了   ， 三    兄    弟    按    时    回    到    了    父    亲    的    身    边   。 不    过    他    们    不    知    道    如    何    找    到    最    好    的    机    会    来    展    示    各    自    的    本    领   ， 于    是    只    好    坐    下    来    商    量   。 就    在    这    时   ， 一    只    兔    子    突    然    跑    过    田    间   ，" 哈    哈   ！ 来    得    正    是    时    候   。" 剃    头    匠    说    着   ， 只    见    他    端    起    脸    盆    和    肥    皂   ， 待    兔    子    跑    近   ， 迅    速    地    在    兔    子    身    上    抹    上    肥    皂    泡    沫   ， 就    在    兔    子    仍    在    奔    跑    的    同    时   ， 以    迅    雷    不    及    掩    耳    之    势    给    兔    子    剃    了    个    短    胡    子   ， 丝    毫    不    伤    体    肤   。" 干    得    漂    亮   ！" 老    人    赞    道   ，" 如    果    你    的    兄    弟    不    及    你   ， 房    子    就    归    你    啦   ！"

 不    一    会    儿   ， 只    见    一    个    贵    族    乘    着    马    车    疾    驰    而    来   。 铁    匠    说   ：" 爹   ， 您    老    瞧    我    的    吧   ！" 只    见    他    几    步    就    追    上    了    马    车   、 瞬    间    就    给    一    匹    飞    驰    的    马    儿    换    了    四    个    新    崭    崭    的    马    蹄    铁   。" 不    错   ！ 你    一    点    也    不    比    你    弟    弟    逊    色   。" 父    亲    这    下    可    犯    难    了   ，" 我    该    把    房    子    给    谁    呢   ？" 这    时    老    三    说    话    了   ：" 爹   ， 如    果    你    愿    意   ， 该    让    我    做    一    回    了   。" 天    空    正    巧    下    起    雨    来   ， 只    见    他    拔    出    剑   ， 不    停    地    在    头    顶    挥    舞    起    来   ， 竟    是    滴    水    不    漏   ， 身    上    无    丝    毫    湿    迹   。 雨    越    下    越    大   ， 后    来    竟    成    倾    盆    之    势   ， 只    见    他    手    中    的    剑    也    越    舞    越    快   ， 身    上    仍    没    沾    丝    毫    滴    雨   ， 仿    佛    处    在    屋    中    一    样   。 父    亲    见    了    大    惊   ， 说   ：" 你    的    技    艺    最    精    湛   ， 房    子    就    归    你    啦   ！"

 于    是    一    切    都    如    约    进    行   ， 两    位    大    哥    对    这    一    结    果    也    口    服    心    服   。 由    于    他    们    仨    手    足    情    深   ， 彼    此    不    愿    分    开   ， 于    是    都    留    在    这    所    房    子    里   ， 各    施    其    艺   。 由    于    他    们    都    各    有    一    门    绝    活   ， 且    人    又    聪    明   ， 于    是    赚    了    很    多    钱   。 于    是    他    们    一    同    过    着    幸    福    的    生    活   ， 一    直    到    老   。 最    后    兄    弟    中    的    一    个    得    病    先    去    世    了   ， 其    他    两    位    悲    伤    不    已   ， 不    久    他    们    也    相    继    去    世   ， 因    为    他    们    是    那    样    的    手    足    情    深   ， 人    们    把    他    们    合    埋    在    同    一    个    坟    墓    里   。
