Once there lived an old man with his three sons in the faraway land of China. Their house was on a hill, a little away from the village. There was a beautiful garden around the house. All the three sons were handsome and hardworking. The old man wanted to find suitable brides to them. He searched far and wide and found two sisters in another village. They were beautiful and good-natured. The old man was happy. The two elder sons married the two sisters and they began to live happily. Many days passed. Now it was time to the brides to visit their parents’ home. Before leaving, they asked the old man what gift he wanted them to bring. The old man thought for a while. He told them that he had always wanted to carry wind and fire with him. He asked them if they could bring each wrapped in a paper.
