The Rich Brother and the Poor Brother is a Portuguese fairy tale . Andrew Lang included it in The Lilac Fairy Book . ref Andrew Lang, http www.mythfolklore.net andrewlang 169.htm The Rich Brother and the Poor Brother , The Lilac Fairy Book ref Synopsis A rich old man with two sons, lost his wife. The older son lived with him and the younger son lived in the city. One day, the man learned that his older son had secretly married. The father turned him out, sent for his younger brother, and made him his only heir. He died and left his estate, which was not as good as it once was, to the younger son. The inheritance included some unfinished houses in the city. Meanwhile, the older brother and his wife lived in poverty. One day he begged his younger brother to give him the unfinished houses, and the brother agreed. The younger brother married a woman who was wealthy but greedy. One day she went to the city and saw the houses. She made her husband go to law again and again to get them back. Finally, they appeared before to the highest court. They stopped by a farm, where the resident farmer fed the rich brother and, grudgingly, permitted the poor brother to stay. The farmer s wife asked for one of the poor brother s onions, became ill during the night, and blamed the onion. The farmer beat the poor brother until the rich brother demanded that he go to court to complain and stop beating him. The rich brother and the farmer set out on horseback. The poor brother stayed to help a muleteer with his mule that was stuck in the mud. In spite of his help the muleteer went on without him. The poor brother decided he would never reach court in time, and one or the other case would go against him, so he might as well kill himself. But, it was too dark to be sure of it, so instead he went to sleep. In the morning, he jumped over a wall to kill himself, but he landed on top of an old man lying in the sun. The old man died. The old man s sons brought the poor brother to court. The thre ... more details

Wikify date January 2011 John Henry Henshall 1856 1928 , born Manchester 1856, was a painter and etcher and a member of the Royal Watercolour Society . Leaving school at the age of sixteen, Henry he preferred his second forename to that of John attended the Manchester School of Art, where he was taught by William Jabez Muckley who was a talented but demanding master. In March 1876 he travelled to London to join the A South Kensington School of Art , but he remained there only one term, passing in the following June to the Royal Academy on the special recommendation of Edward Poynter. In 1880 he was awarded a Royal Academy silver medal for a Painting of a Head from the Life , almost certainly the fine watercolour An Egyptian Muleteer now in the collection of the Victoria and Albert Museum. Although Henshall did paint some oils he was principally a watercolourist, being elected an Associate of the RWS in 1883, and becoming one of the Society s forty full members in 1897. He exhibited 171 pictures at the RWS and his diploma work, La Serenata , may be viewed at the Society s Bankside gallery. A favourite theme of Henshall s work is the contrast between the happy innocence of childhood, without cares, and the tribulations of old age. He was not afraid to tackle uncomfortable subjects and his honest, realistic pictures of ordinary life were quite unusual for painters in the Victorian era. In April 1912 the Leicester Galleries in London had an exhibition of Henshall s watercolours of Country Folk catalogue No. 162 . Henshall died in Bosham, near Chichester, on 18 November 1928 aged 72.
