1 y separately published work icon The Raven and the Star Fruit Tree : A Vietnamese Folktale Li Thi Lai , Noreen Monaghan (editor), Wembley : Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia. Multicultural Education Services , 1981 Z1345129 1981 single work children's fiction children's A retelling of the Vietnamese fable about two brothers. This is the fable: A long time ago, there was a rich man living in a village. When he died, he left his two sons a huge fortune. However, the greedy elder brother claimed the fortune and left the kind younger brother only a star fruit tree. When a raven eats the fruit the younger brother asks it to refrain as the fruit is his only source of income. To pay for the fruit the raven takes the younger brother to an island of gold. Predictably, when the older brother hears of this he tries to take advantage of both the raven and his brother but fails.
