There was only one apple in the basket. They decided to take the apple and figure out how to divide it later. Bird and Mouse hid behind a big tree. How do you think we should divide the apple. I'll eat the apple and leave you the seeds.
Birds eat seeds all the time anyway.
Then you would be getting more than me. They argued and argued but Bird and Mouse could not agree on how to divide the apple. Finally they decided to take the apple to Cat and ask Cat to divide it for them. So they went to Cat's hide out and told Cat their problem. He agreed to help.
