Cooperation and justice are praiseworthy values that we must all adhere to so that love, peace, and good may prevail upon us. However, we must consider in our minds that not everyone can adhere to values like these. Therefore, it is our duty to teach our friends.
Adhering to such good qualities is part of our adherence to our religion, for cooperation and judging between people with justice are the two pillars of life that enable us to obtain our rights, grant others their rights, and become in our lives an example and lesson that we judge between our brothers with justice and fairness.
In the beautiful forest and its shining trees, with its good fruits and its many animals, the rabbit Arnub jumped in the forest. Here and there, he was searching for what he would eat, for hunger had afflicted him since morning. He had woken up late from his sleep and could not eat his food. Now he felt extreme hunger and began searching for some food to eat and praise God for what He had granted him.
Arnub began jumping searching for ripe fruits to eat. He found a beautiful apple tree for the forest. He smelled the scent of its fruits, smiled, and rejoiced that he would eat. He went to the tree where it stood and began jumping until he reached a hanging fruit from one of its branches. But the fruit was unfortunately at an extremely high altitude that Arnub could not reach.
Here the crow saw what was happening, so it flew toward the fruit and pecked it with its small beak until the apple fell. The rabbit ran behind the fruit that had rolled from the tree after falling from that height, but unfortunately when it fell, it had fallen on the back of a hedgehog who was walking under the tree.
Arnub ran behind him and asked him to give him the fruit. But the hedgehog said to him: It is mine. It fell on my back, and he took it himself. The crow pursued them and said: No, it is my fruit. I am the one who dropped it from the tree.
While Arnub insisted that he was the one who had seen it first and deserved it for himself alone, anger occurred between the animals, and each began using his own weapon. The crow with its small beak, the hedgehog with its strong spikes, and the rabbit kicking with his feet. The bear saw them while he was walking in the forest, and went to them when he heard the noise they had made and asked them what had happened to them?
Everyone hurried toward the bear when they saw him and asked him to listen to them and judge between them with justice. The rabbit told everything truthfully and informed him that he had seen the fruit, then the crow had pecked it with his small beak, and the hedgehog had caught it with his strong spikes, and asked him to judge between them who was the rightful owner in obtaining it.
The bear smiled at what he heard and said to the rabbit: Oh good rabbit, each of you had a role in the falling of this fruit. Therefore, I recommend that you divide the fruit among you and obtain a portion of it equally among you. Everyone smiled and divided the fruit into four equal parts, each took a part of it, then they gave the bear the fourth portion as thanks to him for his good advice and because he had judged between them with justice, and each obtained his right. He was pleased when he obtained his right, and granted the others their rights.
