Abraham had eight sons.
He sent Ishmael to search for oil. The eldest son travelled south-east for a short distance and reached a desert. He drilled lightly and, in no time, liquid gold gushed out from the ground. He went back and told his father what happened.
"Good boy." Abraham said.
In the next morning, the old man asked Isaac to search for more oil.
The second son headed south-west, and, after a few weeks, found a forest by a long river. With the experience of his elder brother, Isaac was all skillful in drilling - but he found no petroleum. Instead, he dug out some hard and shiny stones. He threw them off, shook his head, returned to Abraham and told the story to his father.
"What a silly boy!" Abraham sighed.
