ONE NUT AND TWO BOYS

Two little boys were playing together. One little boy saw a nut on the ground. Before he could pick it the other boy took it.

The first boy demanded, “Give me the nut. It’s mine. I only saw it first”.

The other boy replied, “It’s mine. I only took it”.

This lead to a quarrel among these two little boys. 

Just then a tall boy came that way. On seeing the quarrelling boys he said, “Give me the nut, and I’II settle your quarrel”.

He split the nut into two parts. He took out the fruit-seed. He gave one half-shell to one boy and the other half-shell to the other. He put the fruit seed into his mouth and said, this is for settling your quarrel”.
