Scramble Cake (Nigeria)





Once upon a time, in Nigeria, two boys the same age were walking around. 

Suddenly their eyes saw a piece of cake in a basket. 

The basket is lying on the road, who knows its owner. 

At the same time, the two children took cakes in a basket. 

They managed to hold the cake at the same time too. 

As a result, the two of them fought over a cake. 

"This cake is mine." said the first child. 

"No, this cake is mine. I held it the first time. " said the second child did not want to lose. 

When the two were fighting, a girl passed by. 

"Why are you fighting over a piece of cake? Instead of fighting, you should divide the two cakes. I can help you divide two cakes of equal size. Come, come to my house. We divide the two cakes. " said the girl. 

Both boys agree. 

They then followed the girl to her house. 

The girl then cuts the cake into two pieces. 

She also weighed it using a scale. 

It turns out the pieces of cake are not the same. 

The girl then cuts the heavier cake, to make it the same, and eats the remaining small piece of cake. 

"It's also difficult to divide these two cakes. Rather than you fighting again, it's better to eat this small piece of cake. " said the girl. 

The incident kept repeating because the girl found it difficult to divide the two cakes. 

Until finally the cake was eaten by the girl. 

The two boys could only be silent. 

They did not dare to protest the attitude of the girl. 

Finally the two boys regretted having quarreled. 

If they want to divide the two cakes without fighting, surely both of them can eat the cake. 

But now there isn't even one piece of cake left. 



Message from the story: Fighting is of no use.
