Treat Others As You Would Like 
To Be Treated 
(The Golden Rule of Behaviour) 
            
Geoffrey Chaucer
Three Young Men, Death and a Bag of Gold 
Id like to tell you an amusing story. The story is
 about three young men who were 
very fond of gold.  
Three young men were sitting in an inn. They 
were making merry
. 
They drank a lot of wine. Suddenly they heard some 
noise. They 
looked out of 
the 
window. They saw some people. The people were carry
ing a coffin. The friends 
wanted to know the name of the dead man. 
They wanted the innkeeper to tell them the name of 
the dead man. 
The innkeeper 
told them
 the name of the dead man. It was the name of their
 
friend. The three young men 
were shocked
. They 
couldnt believe their ears. 
The 
innkeeper 
was not surprised
. He told the friends that every day Death killed 
young and old in the village. The innkeeper added t
hat he thought Death lived in 
that village. 
Our three young friends 
got drunk
. They thought Death really lived in the village. 
They 
made up their mind 
to go to the village and find Death there. They dec
ided 
to kill Death.   
So they went to the village to find and kill Death.
 They 
were not afraid of
 Death. 
They decided to be brothers and defend 
each other
.  
Soon they met a very old man. They asked the old ma
n where they could find 
Death. The old man pointed to the wood. The old man
 wanted the young men to go 
there.  He said that Death was under an old oak.  
The tree young men rushed to the wood. Soon they sa
w a very large old oak. When 
they 
came up
to
 the oak, they saw a bag. The bag 
was full of
 gold coins. They 
couldnt believe their eyes
. 
Anyway, the friends 
were 
very 
glad to
 get so much gold. They forgot about 
Death.

At first, they decided to 
divide
 the gold 
into
 three parts. Then they 
changed their 
mind
The friends decided to stay at the oak till night. 
They didnt want people to ask them questions about
 the gold. 
Soon they 
got hungry. 
So the youngest man went to town to buy some food t
o eat. 
The other two remained under the oak with the gold 
coins. 
The two young men were sitting under the oak. They 
were waiting 
for 
their friend. 
Suddenly they 
had an idea
. They 
made up their mind
 to kill their friend 
with 
their 
knives. They 
did want
 to divide the gold into two parts. 
Anyway,
 they 
were 
satisfied with
 their plan.  
The youngest friend 
had an idea
, too. Of course, he wanted to get the bag of gold 
for himself
. He didnt want to divide the gold into three part
s. 
It occurred to him
that he would poison them. 
He went to a man who sold poison to kill rats. 
First,
 he bought some poison from 
him. 
Second,
 he bought some meat, bread and three bottles of wi
ne. 
After that
 he 
put some poison into two bottles of wine. 
Actually,
 he 
was 
very 
satisfied with
 his 
plan. When everything 
was ready
, he hurried to the old oak 
to join
 his friends. 
He 
was looking forward to
 get
ting
 all the gold 
for himself. 
When he
 reached the oak, 
the two friends
 were waiting for 
him with their knives 
ready. They killed him 
at once
. 
After that
 they opened the bottles and drank the 
wine. Soon they were dead, too.  
This is how the three young men found Death. 
I liked the story very much. 
Anyway, 
I think 
its worth reading.
  
The story 
teaches us
 how important it is to follow the Golden Rule of B
ehaviour 
which says: 
Treat Others As You Would Like To Be Treated 
The three young men were selfish and greedy. 
Moreover,
 they were not 
real friends. True friends try to help each other, 
they share happiness and 
trouble and never make plans how to cheat or kill e
ach other. 
I think 
it was
 their greediness 
that
 made them kill each other.
If they were true friends, they would not die. 
If they were not greedy, they would become rich bec
ause they could 
divide the gold coins into three parts. 
To sum up,
 if you want to be safe, sound and happy, just 
treat others 
as you would like to be treated.
