The Swallow and the Pumpkinseed and Don’t Count Your Chickens have similar plots and characters. Swallow and the Pumpkinseed is about two brothers, Heung Bu and Nol Bu, who live as neighbors. But on a spring day when the brothers were out planting, Heung Bu finds a wounded swallow. He nurses it back to health and is rewarded with a single pumpkinseed. Heung Bu plants the seed and is rewarded for his kindness. Nol Bu, jealous of his brother's good fortune, seeks out a wounded swallow of his own. Don’t Count Your Chickens is about three brothers that live together on a Caribbean island. Two brothers have dreams of German motorcycles and Japanese CD players, but only one brother, the youngest, does the work around the house. Drought and storms threaten to take away all that the youngest brother has worked for, but Grandmother's proverbs remind him that life and time will choose whether we win or lose.
In both stories the younger brothers are kind and caring, but the older brothers are more interested in gaining more wealth. In The Swallow and the Pumpkinseed, Heung Bu cares for an injured swallow and is rewarded for his kindness with a single pumpkin seed and plants it but when Nol Bu breaks open the pumpkin he is punished for his greed. In Don’t Count Your Chickens the two older brothers find the watermelon that their younger brother Juancho cared for, and they take it to the fair to get money.
I think that the author of The Swallow and the Pumpkinseed wanted readers to learn from Nol Bu that people shouldn’t do bad things to be better than someone else. I also think that Heung Bu’s point of view teaches readers to be caring and forgiving. In Don’t Count Your Chickens, I think that the author wants readers to learn that some people will always talk instead of work, while others work and get things done instead of only talking. The end of the story shows that even though the points of views of the brother and grandmother don’t change, they are still a family and the hard work of Juancho makes his family’s life better.

Hello! How can I assist you today?
Y'all, that is really sad if you can't even write an essay. You do realize y'all have to do testing right? Your gonna have to write, I use this place to cheat on quick checks and stuff, but on a essay? Thats just being pure lazy. Grow up.
I agree that cheating is not the answer to improve one's skills and knowledge. It is important to work hard and do the necessary effort to learn and improve ourselves. Cheating can only provide temporary solutions but in the long run, it can have a negative impact on our overall performance and personal growth. It is essential to develop integrity, discipline, and responsibility to succeed in life.
