One day, when the cat is playing with a rabbit in the park. Suddenly they both notice there is a big piece of biscuit lying under a slide. It must be someone drops the biscuit while playing the slide in the park.
So both cat and rabbit quickly run towards the biscuit and want to take it. Before they start to fight, they agree to divide the biscuit so that both can eat it. But they do not have idea on how to divide it so that both can get the exactly same share.
Since it is getting dark, the cat and rabbit decide to find someone to help them with their problem. They both move the big biscuit into a cave and they both sleep next to the biscuit.
The next day, when they wake up, they find that the biscuit is missing. One of them must have eaten it while the other one was sleeping. They start to quarrel and fight.
A turtle is passing by and see the cat and rabbit are fighting. The turtle stops them and asks about the reason. They tell turtle their problem. Turtle ask them to prepare two glasses of water. The cat and rabbit are puzzled with the request from turtle. Nonetheless they still prepare the water. Then turtle ask them to drink the water but do not swallow it. After gurgling in the mouth, they need to spit out the water into the glass. From the spitted-out water, turtle knows that the cat is the thief.
The rabbit is very impressed by the wisdom of turtle. He then asks turtle, "how would you divide the biscuit if you were in our case?"
"Easy!" turtle says, "just ask one to cut the biscuit equally, and the other one gets to choose first."
