The parable of the division

A system evolved in which one does the dividing and the other gets the selecting firs. this guaranteed an equitable cutting. otherwise,the one who divided would be in the losing end.

The older brother quickly got the bigger fish. The younger boy was disappointed to get the much smaller fish. “If I were you,” said the younger boy to his older brother, “ l would have taken the want.”
