THE TRICKY MONKEY

Once there lived two cats in a house. One day they stole a piece of bread from their neighbouring house. But the problem arose from how to divide it because each of the cats wanted the larger part.

When they failed to reach any amicable settlement, they went to a monkey to divide the bread equally. The monkey brought a pair of scales.

He tore out the bread into two pieces and put them on the scales. The monkey told the cats that one piece was clearly bigger than the other. 

So, he bit off a part of the bigger piece. As a result, the other piece became heavier. Then the monkey took a part from the heavier piece and put it on the scale.

The monkey continued doing the same thing again and again until there remained only one piece. Now, the cats told the monkey to return that little piece to them.

They said that they themselves would divide the bread equally. But the monkey said that he toiled much to divide the bread equally. 

So, he wanted it as his fee. Saying so, the monkey ate up that piece also. The cats left the place in a very sad mood but the incident made them wise also.
