Two Cats and a Monkey
Large text for little eyes.
One sunny afternoon in Whisker Town, two cats, Mimi and Momo, found a big, delicious loaf of bread.
“Wow! Lunch!” said Mimi, licking her paws.
“Half for you and half for me,” said Momo proudly.
But when they tried to divide it, Mimi said, “Hey! Your half is bigger!”
“No, yours is bigger!” Momo argued.
They tugged, they meowed, they even tried using their tails as rulers — but they couldn’t agree.
Then along came Max the Monkey, swinging from a branch with a mischievous grin.
“What’s all this fuss about, my furry friends?” he asked.
The Monkey’s “Brilliant” Idea
“We can’t divide this loaf fairly!” the cats said together.
“Ahh,” said Max, tapping his chin. “I’m very good at dividing things fairly. Let me help!”
He broke the loaf into two pieces. But, oh dear, one piece was bigger.
“Oh no,” said Max. “Let me fix that!” He took a big bite out of the larger piece.
“Oops! Now this one’s smaller,” he said, pretending to frown. “Better take a bite from the other side too!”
And bite by bite, chomp by chomp, Max kept “fixing” the bread, until all that was left were crumbs!
The cats watched in horror.
“Wait! That’s our lunch!” cried Mimi.
“I was hungry, not that hungry!” wailed Momo.
The Crumbly Lesson
Max dusted off his hands and said proudly,
“There! Perfectly fair. You each get… half a crumb!”
He handed them the tiniest pieces of bread, so small even an ant would complain.
The cats sighed.
“Next time,” said Mimi, “we’ll do our own sharing.”
“Yeah,” said Momo. “We don’t need a monkey mathematician!”
Max grinned, his belly full and round.
“Well, if you ever need me again,” he said with a wink, “I’ll be napping after my balanced meal.”
The Meow of Wisdom
That day, the two cats learned an important lesson:
When you fight over something small, someone else might walk away with it all!
From then on, Mimi and Momo shared everything, from sardines to sunny spots on the porch.
And whenever they passed a monkey, they held their bread a little tighter!
The jungle never forgot the story of the Two Cats and a Monkey, and every time the animals saw Max swinging by, they whispered,
“There goes the fairest monkey in town — fair to himself!”
The End !
