Short note Or Summary on The Inheritors

Azam and Moazzam inherited a cow, a date-palm tree and a blanket from their father. Azam, the elder brother was greedy and clever. He cheated his younger brother Moazzam by taking advantage of simplicity and had made his clever division of the property. According to unfair division Azam got the milk because the rear part of the cow was his while Moazzam fed the cow. Azam got all the dates because the top part of the tree belonged to him while Moazzam watered the tree. Azam slept under the blanket at night because it was his for the night. Moazzam taught lesson to his elder brother and got his due share on the advice of an old man of the village. Azam than agreed to share the property with Moazzam fairly and equally.
