The Cat and the Rabbit
once in
a forest there lived a cat and a rabbit. They were very good friends. One day
when they were walking together through the forest they found a big piece of
cheese. They were very pleased, and agreed to share it. They decided that the
rabbit should divide it into two equal shares. The rabbit tried hard to divide
it equally, but could not. One piece was a little bit bigger than the another.
They began to quarrel over the pieces, since each wanted to
have the bigger piece for himself . just then a fox come along and asked them
what their quarrel was all about. They explained the matter to the fox, and he
replied that he could solve their problem, since he could make the pieces
equal.
The fox took a bite of the bigger piece, to make it equal to
the smaller one. But the bit was too big; now the other piece was bigger. He
bit the other piece, but again the bite was too big. One piece was still bigger
than the other. So he continued in this way until both pieces of cheese were
finished. “well,” said the fox as the last crumb of cheese disappeared, “i
wasn’t able to solve your problem,after all. But thank you for the cheese!”and he trotted off through the forest.
The cat and the rabbit look at after him as he went.”
Next,time” the cat decided,”well solve our problem ourselves.”
“ and,after all,” added the rabbit, “ the smaller piece
would have been better than none at all.”
