    There were two brothers. They had different ways of life. The elder brother lived in the countryside, got married (结婚）and had children. He lived a happy life. The younger brother travelled all around the world. He enjoyed himself during the travelling and collected many nice memories (回忆).When the two brothers were old, the elder brother had children and grandchildren. They took good care of him, he was happy. The younger brother had no children or grandchildren, but he had fantastic memories and he was happy too.
