Explanation:
THE TWO BOYS AND A NUT
One day two boys were going along a road. They saw a nut on the ground. Both of them ran quickly to pick it up. One boy picked it up. The other boy said, “It is my nut because I was the first to see it.”
“It is mine.” said the boy who was holding it, “because I was the first to pick it up.”
Just then a tall boy came there. He said to the boys, “Give me the nub. I’ll settle your quarrel.”
The tall boy took the nut. He cracked the nut and separated its hard shell into two parts. He gave one part of the shell to one boy and said. “This half is yours.” He gave the other part to the other boy and said. “This half is yours.”
Then the tall boy popped the fruit seed into his mouth and said, “The remaining is mine for helping.”
