Once there two boys who
were great friends and they were determined to remain that way forever. When
they gerw up and got married, they built their houses facing one another. There
was a small path that formed a border between their farms,
One day, a trickster
from the village decided to play a trick on them. He dressed himself in a two
color coat that was devide down the middle. So, one side of the coat was red
and the other side was blue.
The trickster wore this
coat and walked along the narrow path between the houses of the two friends.
They were each working opposite each other in their fields. The trickster made
enough noise as he passed them to make sure that each of them would look up and
see him passing.
At the end of the day,
one friend said to the other, ''Wasn't that a beatiful red coat that man was
wearing today.?''

replied.''it was a blue coat.''
''I saw the man clearly
as he walked between us!'' said the first, ''His coat was red.''
''You are wrong!'' said
the other man. ''I saw it too, and it was blue.''
''I know what i saw!''
angrily the first man. ''The coat was red!
''You don't know
anyting,'' the second man replied insited.''it was blue!''
They kept arguing about
this over and over, insulted each other and eventually, they began to beat each
other and roll around on the ground.
Just then, the
trickster returned and faced the two men, who were punching and kicking each
other and shouting,''Our friendship is over!''
The trickerster walked
directly in front of them, and showed them his coat. He laughed at their sily
fight. The two friends saw that his coat was red one side and blu on the other.
The two friends stopped
fighting and screamed at the trickster saying,''We haver lived side by side
like brothers all our lives, and it is all your foult that we are fighting =.
You have started a war between us.''
''Don't blame me for
the battle,'' replide the trickster.''i did not make you fight. Both of you are
wrong, and both of you are right. Yes, what each one saw true. You are fighting
because you only looked at my coat from your own point of view.''
