Two little boys were playing together. One little boy saw a nut on the ground. Before he could pick it up, the other boy took it.
The first boy demanded, "Give me the nut. It's mine. I saw it first."
The other boy replied, "It's mine. I picked it up first.."
A quarrel then ensued between both of them.
Just then a tall boy came along. Seeing the quarrel between the boys, he said, "Give me the nut and I'll settle your quarrel."
He split the nut into two and took out the fruit seed. He gave one half-shell to one boy and the other half-shell to the other. Then he put the fruit seed into his mouth and said, "This is for settling your quarrel."
