The three brothers set off on their journey, and soon they came to a river. They needed to cross the river, but they didn't know how to swim. They stood on the bank for a long time, trying to figure out what to do.

Finally, the oldest brother said, "I know! I'll jump in and swim across." So he jumped in, but he quickly started to sink. The middle brother saw what was happening, and he jumped in to save his brother. But he too started to sink.

The youngest brother watched in horror as his brothers disappeared beneath the waves. He knew that he had to do something, but he didn't know what. Suddenly, he had an idea.

The youngest brother ran to a nearby tree and cut down a branch. He then used the branch to make a raft. He got on the raft and paddled across the river. When he reached the other side, he found his brothers sitting on the bank, shivering from the cold.

The youngest brother helped his brothers onto the raft, and they all paddled back to shore. When they got home, they told their father what had happened. Their father was so proud of them for using their heads to solve the problem.

The Three Sillies learned a valuable lesson that day. They learned that it is important to think before you act. If they had thought before they jumped into the river, they wouldn't have gotten into trouble.

The Three Sillies is a classic English fairy tale that has been told for generations. It is a story that teaches valuable lessons about the importance of thinking before you act. It is a story that will be enjoyed by readers of all ages.
