Two Fighting Cats

 One day two cats found a

loaf of bread.

Both the cats wanted the

bread so they began fighting.

They clawed at each

other and fought for

long.

Along came a

monkey.

“Why are you

fighting?”

he asked.

The cats snarled, “We are fighting because we both want to eat the bread.”

The monkey asked,

“Why don’t you share it?”

The cats said,

“We don’t want the

other to get more, so we cannot

share it.”

“All right,” said the monkey,

“I’ll help you to cut

it in half.”

The monkey tore

the loaf into two.

“One bit looks

bigger, let me

make them the same

size,” he said,

and ate a little of one

of the pieces of bread.

Then the other piece looked bigger, so he ate a little of it.

The cats were so

busy fighting each other, they did not

see the monkey

eating the bread.

In the mean time, the monkey

ate the whole loaf.

The cats did not get any

bread, because they were

busy fighting.

When the cats saw the monkey running away, they knew that they should have worked together and

shared.
