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?

He sells his house, buys a smaller house with a smaller living room, and a material such as straw to fill up his room?

the only thing I can think of would be a candle and a match- he filled the room with light or incense and a match and filled the room with scent. I have not heard this one before so please email me the answer!!!

Hmmm... wild guess...
I would think perfume, and perhaps a light? The smell and light could fill the room... let me know the answer!
