Riddle of the day#4
An old man wanted to leave all of his money to one of his three sons, but he didn't know which one he should give it to. He gave each of them a few coins and told them to buy something that would be able to fill their living room. The first man bought straw, but there was not enough to fill the room. The second bought some sticks, but they still did not fill the room. The third man bought two things that filled the room, so he obtained his father's fortune. What were the two things that the man bought?

A candle! the light fills the whole room! he also bought a lighter to light the candle..?
Financial security-he invested his father's money.
Contentment and peace of mind knowing his 3rd son wasn't a wastrel.
I'd like to say joy or love if they were for sale (which is debatable).
