Brothers Karl and Bruce were left a two-room apartment for two by their parents. They lived normally until Karl’s wife became pregnant.
– It is, of course, great that I will become an uncle. But where are you going to live?” Bruce asked his brother.
– That is the question I propose to solve now you and I. Let’s you move to the dacha, and we will stay here.
– Why me? You move.
– How do you imagine it? How will I get to work from there? I work in a factory. You work remotely from home. What difference does it make where you sit?
– I do. I need fast internet. And as you know, the Internet is weak there. And the shops are close by. Do I need it?
– But it’ll be hard for the four of us here.
– Well, rent an apartment.
– On my salary? You have to pay the rent and support your family. Are you kidding?
So we didn’t decide to take anything. But when the baby was born, Bruce realized all the delights of life. The child’s crying did not let him sleep and work. And then he suggested to his brother:
– Let’s sell the apartment, take a mortgage and buy an apartment each.
Karl refused. This did not stop Bruce. He moved to his friend, sold his share of the apartment, took out a mortgage, and two months later moved into his one-room apartment
– That’s not what brothers do! – Karl Bruce called.
– I took a loan and bought an apartment. And you took a loan and bought a car. You made your choice. I made my choice. What insults?
– Do you know that my grandfather, my new neighbor, is an amateur musician. He’s an accordionist. And now he’s practicing from morning till night?! He keeps the kid awake!
– Well, probably, your child also prevents your grandfather from rehearsing. So solve the problem amicably. You refused my offer, and now I can’t help you…
