    In a peaceful village lived two cats, Cat1 and Cat2. They were the best of friends, always found playing together and sharing their meals.

    One sunny day, the cats found a loaf of bread in the alley. Their eyes gleamed with joy. They decided to share it equally, but they couldn't agree on the size of the pieces.

    A monkey, sitting on a tree, observed the quarreling cats. He saw an opportunity and decided to intervene, offering to help divide the bread equally.

    The cats agreed to the monkey's offer. The monkey broke the loaf into two pieces. But one piece was slightly larger than the other, and the argument resumed.

    The monkey, pretending to solve the problem, took a bite from the larger piece to make them equal. But then the other piece became larger. The cats watched, puzzled and anxious.

    The monkey continued this, taking bites alternately, claiming to make the pieces equal. The cats, too engrossed in their argument, failed to notice the disappearing bread.

    Finally, the monkey ate up all the bread, leaving nothing for the cats. The cats looked at each other, their faces dropping as they realized their mistake.

    The cats, now left with empty stomachs, realized they had been fooled by the monkey. Their greed and quarrel had cost them their meal.

    They learned a valuable lesson that day. Their greed had led them to lose what they had, and their lack of cooperation had made them an easy target for the clever monkey.

    From that day on, the cats vowed to share everything equally and to cooperate. They promised never to let their greed cloud their judgment again.
