Good vs Extraordinary

A farmer had two sons, Muthu and Raghu. who were both hard-working and efficient. They worked in the family farm and helped the farmer in all the chores. However, the father always gave more responsibility to the younger son Raghu, much to the irritation of the elder son Muthu. Muthu wanted to know the reason and therefore went to his father and asked him. The farmer smiled but did not say anything. Instead he told Muthu to go to Cibi's farm and find out if Cibi had any cows for sale.

“We need to improve our stocks.” the farmer said.

Muthu came back and said "Yes. . they have six cows which they would like to sell“.

“Ok. Find out the price", said the father.

Muthu came back and said. "Each cow would cost us Rs. 2.0003.

“That’s not a bad price. Ask them if they can deliver the cows tomorrow“ said the father.

Muthu makes another trip and returns back saying “Yes. They can deliver them tomorrow“.

The father then calls Raghu and asks him to run along to Dev’s fami and find out if they have any cows for sale. Raghu returns from Dex s farm and tells his father, “They do have cows for sale. Each will cost us Rs. 2,000/—. In case we are planning to buy more than 6 cows then they are willing to

reduce the price by a hundred rupees. They are also expecting special jersey cows next week. So in case we are not in a hurry we can wait and buy later. Or if you need them urgently then they can deliver them tomorrow too”.The father now looked towards his older son who silently walked away.
