Fabel.

There was once a tiger who lived with a lion. They were both very strong and wanted to own the jungle to be the king of the jungle. The only problem was that they were bestfriends and didn't want to share the jungle so they fought almost everyday for it. One day a monkey came and told them to share it and spilt the land 50, 50; And as told they did.
It is better too share than to be greedy because to much greedynees can be bad.
