REFLECTION:
 How the Wicked Sons Were Duped
By Joseph Jacobs

1. A very wealthy old man, imagining that he was on the point of death, sent for his sons
and divided his property among them. However, he did not die for several years
afterwards, and miserable years many of them were. Besides the weariness of old age, the
old fellow had to bear with much abuse and cruelty from his

sons. Wretched, selfish ingrates! Previously they vied with one another in trying to please
their father, hoping thus to receive more money, but now they had received their
patrimony, they cared not how soon he left them-nay, the sooner the better, because he
was only a needless trouble and expense. And they let the poor old man know what they
felt.
Why do you think the three sons were described as wicked? How did
the sons threat their father? Who would help the poor old man? Read on and
find out.
2. One day he met a friend and related to him all his troubles. The friend sympathized very
much with him, and promised to think over the matter, and call in a little while and tell
him what to do. He did so; in a few days he visited the old man and put down four bags
full of stones and gravel before him.
Who helped the poor old man? What did he bring to the old man?
What would they do with the four bags? Read on.
3. “Look here, friend,” said he. “yours sons will get to know of my coming here today, and
will inquire about it. You must pretend that I came to discharge a long-standing debt with
you, and that you are several thousands of rupees richer than you thought you were. Keep
these bags in your own hands, and on no account let your sons get to them as long as you
are alive. You will soon find them change their conduct toward you. Salaan. I will come
again soon to see how you are getting on.”
What excuse did the friend suggest to justify his visit that day? What
instructions did the friend give the old man? Which country has rupees as
its monetary unit? Would the sons change the way they treat their father?
How?
4. When the young men got to hear of this further increase of wealth they began to be more
attentive and pleasing to their father than ever before. And thus they continued to the day
of the old man’s demise, when the bags were greedily opened, and found to contain only
stones and gravel!
Did the sons change their conduct toward their father? What did they
hope for? How do you think the sons felt when they opened the bags? What
lesson does the selection teach you?
