Two Foolish Rats and a Cunning Monkey
There lived two rats in a house.
They were so happy. They led their lives by stealing food from the house. One
day they together stole a piece of cake. They could not divide it between themes.
They started to quarrel over their share. As they could not take decision, they
went to a monkey for right division of their bread.
They asked the monkey to divide the piece of bread equally. The
monkey was very clever. He assured them that he would divide the bread equally
between them but they must give him some. The rats agreed. The monkey began to
divide the piece of bread. As the pieces were not equal, one side became
lighter than other. To make two sides equal, the monkey ate a bit off a portion
from the heavier side and weighed again. But this time the lighter side became
heavier and he again ate a portion from this heavier part. The monkey continued this trick many
times. The rats could realize their foolishness and lost the cake.
