The Monkey’s Justice for two cats
Once two cats who were very good friends went on a walk. While they were walking on the street, one of the cats saw a box of butter lying besides the road and told the other. The other cat at once jumped and grabbed it.
The first cat said, "Give me the butter. It is I who saw it first."
The other cat said, "Keep away from it. It is I who picked it up."
A fight started between them and they were unable to find a solution. A cleaver wicked monkey was passing by who saw them fighting over the butter.
He thought “How foolish the cats must be. Let me take the advantage of their quarrel”. He came to the cats and said in a loud voice. "Don't fight. I will do justice. Let me share the butter among you both". Thus the cats gave the butter to the monkey thinking that he will do justice by distributing it equally between them.
The monkey split the butter into two parts. He shook his head and said, "Oh! One is bigger and the other is smaller". He ate a little bit of the bigger share to make it smaller. But the bigger share now had become smaller than the other. Thus he again ate from the other. He repeatedly ate part by part from both the shares to make them equal. At the end there was nothing left to share. Thus the poor cats were disappointed and realized their mistake of fighting over the butter.
