Abstract

en_US This story uses a popular fable motif. Two competitive bear cubs keep trying to outdo one another. After several rounds of their vying, they come across a large cheese but do not know how to divide it fairly. They immediately shout that one portion is bigger than the other. A clever fox offers to adjudicate their dispute. She does so by biting off a chunk of the cheese proclaimed larger by the two. Of course that makes the other piece now larger, and she needs to bite off a chunk of that. The fox divides until she can eat no more and then tosses what is left to the cubs, wishing them good appetite. What is left is two crumbs of cheese, tiny but equal.
