Two small boys in front of me were walking slowly, deep in conversation, when they stopped to share an apple. “You cut and I’ll choose,” said one to the other. A penknife appeared, the cut was made and the choice decided.
What a splendid way of ensuring an apple is equally shared! Perhaps the world could get along with fewer conferences and agreements, I reflected, if only the powers that be had the simple solution that schoolboys worked out centuries ago. –Sunday Post, Glasgow
