The Fool's good Fortune

Marjory Scott Wardrop was an English scholar, translated and published Georgian Folk Tales, The Hermit by Ilia Chavchavadze, The Life of St. Nino and The Knight in the Panther's Skin by Shota Rustaveli. 

“The Fool's good Fortune” is a short Georgian fairytale about one man, who died and left three sons. One is altogether a fool, another is fairly intelligent, and the third is rather clever. This being so, it is, of course, difficult for them to live together. In dividing the inheritance among them, the fool is cheated, and in regard to the cattle he is thus cozened. But, as often happens in folk tales, the fortune will favor the fool and the justice will be met.
