Hi Friends!
Most of us have seen the movie Harry Potter, if not, at least have heard about it.
In Harry Potter the main elements are focused, apart from the characters, and are mentioned in every parts of it or we can say it has been the soul of the story.
The Elements were
1. The Elder Wand
2. The Resurrection Stone
3. The Invisibility Cloak
These elements have a narration in the end part of the novel (The Deathly Hallows).
Though the story of the three brother is however missed in the movie. Just a brief talk has been put in the movie about it.
While I was reading the novel, I found the story very interesting and I am very glad that I am going to give a place in my blog. I will divide the story into paragraphs so that you will find it easy to read.
So Now lets start the tale:-
The Tale of Three Brothers
"There were once three brothers who were travelling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too deep to wade through and too dangerous to swim across. However, these brothers were learned in the magical arts, and so they simply waved their wands and made a bridge appear across the treacherous water. They were halfway across it when they found their path blocked by a hooded figure (The Death).
And Death spoke to them. He was angry that he had been cheated out of three new victims, for travelers usually drowned in the river. But Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers upon their magic and said that each had earned a prize for having been clever enough to evade him.
So the oldest brother, who was a combative man, asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence, a wand that must always win duels for its owner, a wand worthy of a wizard who had conquered Death! So Death crossed to an elder tree on the banks of the river, fashioned a wand from a branch that hung there, and gave it to the oldest brother (The Elder's Wand)
The the second brother, who was an arrogant man, decided that he wanted to humiliate Death still further, and asked for the power to recall others from Death. So Death picked up a stone from the riverbank and gave it to the second brother, and told him that the stone would have the power to bring back the dead (The Resurrection Stone)
And then Death asked the third and youngest brother what he would like. The youngest brother was the humblest and also the wisest of the brothers, and he did not trust Death. So he asked for something that would enable him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And death, most unwillingly handed over his own Cloak of invisibility (The Invisibility Cloak).
Then Death stood aside and allowed the three brothers to continue on their way, and they did so, talking with wonder of the adventure they had, and admiring Death's gifts. In due course the brothers separated, each for his own destination.
The First Brother
He traveled on for week or more, and reaching a distant village, sought out a fellow wizard with whom he had a quarrel. Naturally with the Elder Wand as his weapon, he could not fail to win the duel that followed. Leaving his enemy dead upon the floor, the oldest brother proceeded to an inn, where he boasted loudly of the powerful wand he has snatched from Death himself, and of how it made him invincible.
That very night, another wizard crept upon the oldest brother as he lay, wine-sodden, upon his bed. The thief took the wand and, for good measure, slit the oldest brother's throat.
(And So Death took the first brother for his own.)
The Second Brother
Meanwhile, the second brother journeyed to his own home, where he lived alone. Here he took out the stone that had the power to recall the dead, and turned it thrice in his hand. To his amazement and his delight, the figure of the girl he had once hoped to marry, before her untimely death, appeared at once before him.
Yet she was sad and cold, separated from him as by a veil. Though she had returned to the mortal world, she did not truly belong there and suffered. Finally the second brother, driven mad with hopeless longing, killed himself so as truly to join her.
(And So Death took the second brother for his own.)
The Third Brother
Though the Death searched for the third brother for many years, he was never able to find him. It was only when he had attained a great age that the youngest brother finally took off the Cloak of Invisibility and gave it to his son. And then he greeted Death as an old friend, and went with him gladly, and, equals, they departed this life."
*This tale from the Harry Potter is one my favorite. If your are reading the novel then you all will find the story in the "405th" page of the novel.
*So Friends try to read as much novel as you like, if not read at least this tale because it is worth reading.
Lesson:- (From the tale)
1.When opportunity comes, don't panic and hurry rather be wise , have patience and act smart.
2.Don't trust the giver, easily, as they have something to ask later or get benefit about of you.
3.Don't show off, as did by the second brother which cost his life. Be yourself.
Enjoy !
