Reading Notes: The Two Brothers, Part 1

I chose this story because I think it has a lot of potential to continue on the theme of love and sacrifice that I have been doing for these stories. The language is difficult to read so my main change will be in the grammar to make it easier for people to read and understand. One other big change is I want to tell more of the bond, maybe from childhood that these two have and tell of a moment where the younger brother was true to his word and did not go against his older brother. This would play into the later part of the story and lead to the older brother finding out about his wife and believing his younger brother a true man. This would show the love and trust between them. Another thing I want to show that is different is the struggle the younger brother had deciding between being loyal to his brother or betraying him. This will add to the sacrifice that he would make for his brother.
