11. Dividing of the bread between two cats

Once there lived two cats in a house. One day they stole a piece of bread from their neighboring
house. But the problem arose how to divide it because each of the cats wanted the larger part.
When they failed to reach my conclusion, they went to a monkey who is considered to be the
wisest of all the animals. They requested the money to divide the bread equally.
The monkey brought a pair of scales. He torn out the bread into two pieces and put them on the
scales. He told the cats that one piece was clearly heavier than the other. So, he bit off a part of
the bigger piece. As a result the other piece became heavier. Then the monkey took a part of the
bigger piece and put it on the scales. The monkey continued doing the same thing again and
again until there remained only one piece of bread.
After that, the cats told the monkey to return the remained piece to them. They said that they
themselves would divide the bread equally. But the monkey said that he toiled much to divide the
bread equally. So he wanted it as his fee. Saying so, the monkey ate up that piece also. The cat
left the place in a very sad mood but the incident made them wise also.
