Once there
were two cats. They had been living together for many years. However, when it
came to sharing food, they were inveterate rivals. Once they were prowling
around a human settlement for food they found a big piece of discarded cake. No
sooner had they seen the cake than they ran towards it to claim a bigger share.
In the bid to secure the bigger chunk, they began fighting with each other. The
cake lay untouched while they attacked each other with their sharp claws and
paws.
A monkey sat
on a tree watching all this drama. Hungry as he was, he scampered down the
tree, came up to the cake, grabbed it, and ate it up! When the cats saw it,
they stopped fighting! The monkey smiled at them and said, ‘If you don’t solve
your differences amicably, others will definitely take advantage of your
conflicts.’
The cats
learned a lesson. They decided they would never fight with each other!
