An old man was dying and so he called his three sons. He gave them equal money and asked them to buy something that could fill their living room entirely. He told them that he would give all his money and property to the son who was able to do this task as asked.

The first son buys sticks and tries to fill the room but he falls short of sticks. The second son buys straw but he also falls short of filling the room. The third son buys only two things and he is able to fill the room completely and thus earns all the property and money.

What did he buy?
