Explorer

Very soon afterwards, Abraham sent Medan for the same reason.

The fifth son of the old man went west. After passing some rivers and grasslands, there was a gigantic desert in front of him. Medan remembered the story of his eldest brother and began to dig. However, despite being remarkably skillful and spending months for meticulous drilling, all his effort was to no avail - there was not a trace of oil.

Exhausted and disappointed, he went home and told the old man what happened.

“Poor guy. Are you being unlucky, or are you really a good explorer?” Abraham said with a poker face.

Next, Midian was asked to set off.

The young man was anxious and eager to prove himself as a good son of his father. He considered the situation for a moment and, remember the successful story of his eldest brother, he decided to follow the footsteps of Ishmael and went south-east.

He reached the same desert that Ishmael found, and started drilling. However, to the surprise of Midian, there was no oil - all petroleum had been exploited by his eldest brother!

Ashamed but having no idea to go anywhere else, he returned to his father.

"You silly boy! As an explorer, you must be creative!" Abraham said.
