THE MOST PRECIOUS THING IN THE WORLD. FUNNY REALY?

This is the story of two brothers, Elias and Samuel, which lived not far from here
with the father who remained widowed and was joiner.
One evening the father came back a bit confused and dizzy, because he
received from the Stingy Count as payment a little lake from the Green Spring;
Stingy Count was old and peevish who became rich many years before, he lived
alone and without friends.
Near the Green Spring, there was the village, from which water was taken for all
the uses of the citizens.
The father, thinking what he could gain from it, he had no ideas; so he thought
he could have given the lake to his sons, due it was nearly their birthday, …maybe
they would have liked a so particular present.
Elias and Samuel after listening to the world of the father and after being
uncertain, decided to postpone the decision on how to use the strange present, after
being there.
During the night (both brothers) had a dream: a strange man, who was saying to
be the magician of the lake, invited them to express a dream each: to have that lake,
as a present always meant to express a dream. When Stingy Count was young
received the lake as a present… and we can surely imagine what he asked.
Thinking it was a dream, Samuel, the older one, immediately thought to satisfy
his cupidity and his dream to be rich: ‘ I’d like that the lake would fill of the “most
precious thing in the world”, he dreamt imagining rivers of …gold.
Elias, who was always more cautious, didn’t believe to the dream, and didn’t
give much importance to it.
The day after the two brothers, arrived at the borders of the lake, found a mirror
of water transformed in a enormous slab of gold (in fact Samuel thought of this in
his dream).
Samuel, amazed and euphoric, told the dream he had and Elias obviously also
had too…unknowing the brother used his possibility.
Samuel started to jump and dance, trying to bring Elias in his happiness.
But Elias, after the first minutes of surprise, and after few moments of euphoria
started to have some doubts about the consequences.
In fact at the downstream of the lake, the river was dry , and there was no water
anymore.
Problems arrived early… without ’water citizens immediately said the problems
were many...swimming, fishing, irrigating, cooking, cleaning ,washing, drinking...all
the village was in a crisis.
