The Bird With Two Heads

There was once a strange bird with two heads but a single stomach. One day the first head found a sweet, delicious fruit and ate it happily.

The second head wanted to taste it too, but the first laughed, “We share one stomach — so what does it matter which head eats?” This unkindness made the second head bitter.

Later the second head found a sour, harmful fruit and, out of spite, ate it — and since they shared one body, both heads fell ill. Their quarrel had hurt them both.
