Write a story in 150-200 words based on the following outline:

two cats - hungry - a loaf of bread - can’t divide – each greedy - wants more - a clever monkey - offered to help – bit by bit - ate the bread – his fee - bread finished - cats foolish - still hungry.


Two cats were walking together in search of food. One of the cats saw a big loaf of bread and went running to it followed by the other cat. But the problem occurred when the loaf of bread could not be divided into two equal parts.

The first cat said, “Give me the bread. It is I who saw it first.”

The other cat said, “Keep away from it. It is I who picked it first.”

They were fighting non-stop, never reaching to a solution. Just then, a monkey passed by and seeing the two cats fight over a loaf of bread, thought of taking advantage of the situation.

He came to the cats and said in a loud voice, “Don’t fight. Let me divide the loaf equally among you both.” The cats handed the bread to the monkey.

The monkey split the loaf into two parts. He shook his head and said, “Oho! One is bigger than the other.” He had a bit of the bigger and then said, “Oho! This has become smaller now.” He ate from the other. In this way, he ate the whole loaf bit by bit. The poor cats remained hungry and disappointed.
