Two little
squirrels were walking along in the forest. The first one
spied a nut and cried out, "Oh, look! A nut!" The second
squirrel jumped on it and said, "It’s my nut!"
The first squirrel said, "That’s not fair! I saw it first!"
"Well, you may have seen it, but I have it," argued the
second.
At that point, a lawyer squirrel came up and said, "You
shouldn’t quarrel.
Let me resolve this dispute." The two squirrels nodded, and
the lawyer squirrel said, "Now, give me the nut." He broke
the nut in half, and handed half to each squirrel, saying,
"See? It was foolish of you to fight. Now the dispute is
resolved."
Then he reached over and said, "And for my fee, I’ll take
the meat." |
