Bread Dividing by a Cunning Monkey
Once two rats found a piece of bread. They couldn’t agree on how to divide it, because each of them wanted the largest share. They quarrelled for some times. Suddenly, they saw a monkey passing by. They asked the monkey to divide the bread between them.
The monkey was very clever. He said, “It is really a difficult task.” He brought a pair of scales. He divided the bread into two pieces and put them on the scales. One-piece was heavier than the other. He took a small bite from the heavier piece and put them again on the scales. This time the other piece was heavier. So, he took a small bite from that piece, but still, the pieces were unequal. So, he did the same thing again and again. Soon there was only a very small piece of bread left. “Stop! Stop!” shouted the rats. “You are eating all our bread! Give back the piece of bread. We will divide it ourselves.” The monkey said angrily, “I have done a lot of work for you. So, I must take this little piece as my wage.” Saying this, he ate up the piece of bread and went away.

Dividing the Bread/Cake
Once there lived two cats in a house. They were very intimate with each other. One day the two cats stole a piece of cake from a neighbouring house. Each of them demanded
the larger share of the cake. None of them agreed to compromise (আপোসে মীমাংসা করা) a bit. So, they decided to go to the monkey for fair justice. The monkey assured (নিশ্চিত করা) them equal division. He brought a scale for it. At first, he broke the cake into two pieces and put them on the scales. To equalize the portions he bit the large part. That time the large part became smaller and the smaller part became larger. The monkey continued that process and bit again and again. Within a few moments, the piece of cake became very small. The two cats were frustrated (হতাশ হওয়া) to see the incident. They asked the monkey to stop his work and return them the rest of the cake. But the monkey denied to return the cake. He demanded the rest of the piece of cake as his remuneration (পারিশ্রমিক). The two cats realised their mistake and lamented for the cake. They promised never to do such a mistake and keep a mutual understanding.
