Can you guess which real-life story this is?
In the playground, two boys began to fight. It got intense, so the second boy ran off to perch at the top of a slide.
It was there that a third boy found him and asked, "Do you know that you don't have to be close to fight?" "What?" asked the second boy.
"Take this," said the third, and passed that second boy a straw, and a palm full of pebbles.
“In return, I want half your lunch.”
“Alright.”
And so the first boy found himself being pelted by pebbles.
The third boy approached the first, and had soon wheedled out of him another half-lunch. And all that without having to fight.
Would you venture a guess as to which real-life scenario this fable might be? Speaking of? It could be more than one.
