The Parable Of Division [One Shot]

The Parable of Division

The young boy named Sehunand his older brother named Kai were taught by their parents to divide material things equally fairly. This they tried to follow.

A system was evolved in which one does the dividing and the other get the selecting first. This guaranteed an equitable cutting. Otherwise, the one who divided would be in the losing end.

One day, the two boys had a pair of fish for lunch. One big fish and the other a small one. The young boy thought his older brother would give in magparaya to him as a younger and weaker sibling so he said "Kuya, please go ahead and make the first choice."

The older brother quickly got the bigger fish. The younger boy was disappointed to get smaller fish.
"If i were you ," said the younger boy to his older brother, "I would have taken the smaller fish."
"What are you complaining about?" answered the old boy. "You got what you want."
Next time around, the two boys had to share a bottle of soft drink. They were in the rice field with no glasses or containers available.

"Let us just drink direct from the bottle" suggested the older brother. "Be sure it is exactly half. You go ahead and drink your share."

The younger boy took the bottle and raised it to his mouth. The refreshing fluid eddied out and down his throat swallowing successively . He practically held his breath while the older brother waited .

After a minute, the content of the whole bottle was gone. The younger brother had drunk all and whipped his mouth with hos wrist. He smile contentedly.

"Why did you drink all of it?" accosted the older boy.
The younger brother replied, "My half share was at the bottom part of the bottle."
