Three Brothers

In the bustling village of Bandung, three brothers—Hisyam, Arif, and Budi—lived with their mother. Since their father's passing, they struggled to stay close. Their father always united them, but now they argued over everything. They knew they had to work together to keep their father's memory alive. Hisyam, the youngest, often felt caught in the middle.

One day, their mother asked them to fix the family boat. Hisyam was eager to help but Arif and Budi couldn't agree on how to start. - We need to follow a plan, Arif said. - No, we should just get on with it, Budi replied. Their disagreements meant nothing got done, and the boat remained broken.

Days went by, and the brothers faced more challenges. The rainy season began, and their roof leaked. They needed to fix it, but a storm was brewing. - We can't wait any longer, Hisyam insisted. - It's too dangerous, Arif warned. - We have no choice, Budi added. Despite their efforts, the rain poured in, soaking everything inside.

Feeling defeated, Hisyam sat alone by the river. He watched the water flow, thinking about their father. - Maybe we can't do this, Hisyam sighed. He remembered the stories his father told about finding strength in family. But now, it seemed impossible. His heart ached with doubt as he considered giving up.

Then, their wise neighbor, Pak Joko, approached Hisyam. - You remind me of your father, Pak Joko said warmly. - He always found ways to bring people together. Hisyam listened as Pak Joko shared stories of unity and tolerance. Hisyam realized they needed to embrace their differences, not fight them. - We can do this together, Hisyam thought.

With newfound determination, Hisyam rallied his brothers. - Let's try again, but this time, we'll listen to each other, Hisyam encouraged. They worked side by side, fixing the boat and patching the roof. By valuing each other's ideas, they succeeded. Their father's legacy thrived in their unity. They learned that tolerance made them stronger together.
