  The boar that was running forward, got cut from the sharp net and his head split into two. The younger brother tied the boar onto his shoulders and headed for the castle.

  Meanwhile, the older brother that went in the opposite direction found a drinking house in the forest. “Alright, I will have a drink here and work up my courage.” Just then, across from him, he saw his younger brother coming out carrying the boar. “My goodness, how did he.” The greedy brother was boiling with rage.

  “Little brother, come on in over here. Since you have caught the boar, have a drink of wine and rest.” Without suspecting anything, the little brother drank the wine.

  “Big brother! Let’s go to the castle and share this happiness.” The little brother, being so tired, fell asleep after drinking the wine.

  The older brother was jealous of his little brother for catching the boar. The older brother dragged the sleeping younger brother and threw him below the bridge, where he died.

  And pretending that he had caught the boar, he tied it onto his shoulders and went to the king.

  “You are truly a great young man. As I promised I will make you my son-in-law.” The older brother became the king‘s son-in-law.

  After a few years a shepherd was walking below the bridge when he saw a bone that was white as snow. “I will make a flute with that bone.” The shepherd took the bone and made a magnificent flute. However, before the shepherd had a chance to play it, the flute started to play on its own.

  “Listen people, listen people. Listen to my song. Long time ago, my older brother killed me and threw me under the bridge. Then he took the boar that I had caught and married the princess.” The song caused pain to the hearts of the people.

  “This is a very strange flute.” The shepherd took the strange flute to the king. In front of the king, the flute sang again. After hearing the words of the song, the king went under that bridge and dug up the ground. Inside, the bones of the younger brother was there.

  “Go and capture that man.” The king ordered the capture of the older brother. “A brave young man has died for no good reason!” The king mourned the death of the younger brother and buried his bones in a sunny place.
