The two elders, living together in the same cell, never argued about anything. And then one day one says to the other:
- Let's argue at least once, like others. The interlocutor replied:
- I don't know how to start. The first one said:
“I’ll put this brick between us, and then I’ll say: “It’s mine.” Then you will say: “No, he belongs to me.” This is how disputes and quarrels begin.
So they put the brick between them. One said:
- This is mine. Other:
- No, I'm sure it's mine.
The first one answered:
- This is not your brick, but mine. Then another exclaimed:
- If it's yours, take it!
