One day, a boy had to take a large basket to his grandmother.
Un jour, un garçon devait apporter un grand panier à sa grand-mère.
The basket was full and very heavy.
Le panier était plein et très lourd.
His little brother Tom decided to go with him.
Son petit frère Tom décida de l'accompagner.
The brothers found a long pole and put it under the handle of the basket.
Les frères trouvèrent un long bâton et le placèrent sous l'anse du panier.
Each boy took one end of the pole.
Chacun prit une extrémité du bâton.
This made the basket much easier to carry.
Ainsi, il était beaucoup plus facile de porter le panier.
On the way, the older brother looked at the basket and thought for a moment.
En chemin, le frère aîné regarda le panier et réfléchit.
If he moved it closer to Tom, Tom would have to carry more weight.
S'il le rapprochait de Tom, Tom porterait plus de poids.
And his own side would become much lighter.
Et son propre côté deviendrait beaucoup plus léger.
Tom was small and might not notice.
Tom était petit et ne le remarquerait peut-être pas.
But the older brother did not want to trick him.
Mais le frère aîné ne voulait pas le tromper.
He quietly moved the basket closer to his own end of the pole.
Il déplaça doucement le panier vers son propre côté du bâton.
Now it was heavier for him and lighter for Tom.
Maintenant, le panier était plus lourd pour lui et plus léger pour Tom.
The brothers continued on their way, and the older brother smiled.
Les frères continuèrent leur chemin, et le frère aîné souriait.
