One for you, one for me..


Once there was a mango tree within the compound wall of a cemetery. Since it was in a burial place, nobody ate the fruits. One day, two merchants passed by and they noticed the tree with full of fruits and they thought they can sell this in another city. They met the priest to ask whether he is interested in selling the mangoes and the priest happily agreed.

The day arrived and the merchants came….  by evening they finished plucking all the mangoes. But two mangoes fell outside the compound wall.

Then they took two sacks and started dividing the mangoes by saying:

'one for you, one for me…one for you, one for me…'

It became dark and a man who happened to pass the cemetery heard someone saying 'one for you and one for me' and he thought it is God and Satan dividing souls. He got scared and ran to the priest. Though the priest believed in God and Satan, he could not believe this story and decided to find the truth.

They reached the other side of the wall and listened carefully; and then there someone says:

'one for you, one for me….and that's it'

Then came the second voice:

"No, there are two more, on the other side of the wall"

Both the priest and the man fell on the ground….. (fainted or? I don't know…)
