The Wise Monkey

Two sly cats had stolen a piece of cheese from their masters table together. It
15
was a nice big piece of cheese. But they had an argument on how to divide it. Each
33
cat was afraid that the other might get a bigger piece. Finally, they asked the judge
50
to help them divide the cheese evenly. The judge was a very wise monkey. He
65
broke the piece of cheese in two. He placed the pieces on a scale and watched
81
carefully. One side of the scale dipped lower than the other side. This piece must
97
be bigger, said the monkey. Thats not even. So the monkey took a biter of the
113
bigger piece of cheese. But not the opposite side of the scale was lower. Aha! said
129
the monkey. Now this section is bigger, and he took a bite of the second piece of
146
cheese. Stop! Stop! the two cats howled. Just give us back what is left and we
163
will be happy! Fair is fair, replied the monkey. The pieces must be exactly the
178
same size. And so the monkey kept weighing and nibbling. He nibbled first from
193
one side, and then from the other, over and over again. Finally, the sides of the
208
scales were perfectly even. The two pieces of cheese were exactly the same size.
224
Now this is fair! said the monkey. I will take these pieces as a fee for my
240
opinion. After gobbling them down, the monkey pounced his gavel and said,
254
Remember this decision. Case dismissed!
