The Story in Short

Two cats found a piece of bread and began to quarrel over how to share it fairly. Each cat wanted the bigger piece and neither would agree, so their argument grew louder and louder.

A clever monkey passing by offered to help settle the matter. He broke the bread into two pieces and placed them on a weighing scale, saying he would make them equal. He took a bite from the heavier side, then the other, again and again.

Each time the monkey ate, he claimed he was making the pieces equal. Soon almost all the bread was gone, and only tiny crumbs were left for the two foolish cats. They realised too late that their quarrelling had let the monkey eat their bread.

Moral of the Story

When we quarrel, others take advantage of us. It is better to share peacefully than to fight.
