Uncle Joe was visiting his nephew Mark. He told Mark a hair-raising story: "I was in Italy last Easter vacation. There are many vineyards in the area of the northern Italian city of Madrid. The grapes were ripe so I picked and ate then until I was full. The winegrowers who came to pick the grapes were happy that I found the grapes to be so tasty. As I walked through the vineyard, suddenly I encountered a wolf who ferociously snarled at me. What should I do? To run away was useless. I couldn't show the beast that I was afraid. So I rolled up my sleeves, grabbed him and strangled him with my bare hands." "Stop, Uncle Joe!" interrupted Mark. "You made up the story! I don't believe one word of it!" "You don't believe that a strong grown-up man can't strangle a wolf? I was attacked by the beast and had to defend myself. It was a fight to the finish." "Okay, that I'll believe." said the nephew.

Mike had read such an interesting fable, that he dreamt about all the animals. But, as is so often true in dreams, things can get very mixed up and the animals acted very peculiar.

We are twins. - But no one in the world lives farther away from each other as us. - No wonder that we have not yet seen and will never see each other. We live far away from humans, but are well-known to them. Sometimes you know more about us than your neighbor who you hear snoring in the night. Certainly no one has seen us. - Only a few people have boldly tried to come near us, many have died trying. But when a group does reach us, the leader marks the ground and says: Here is the one. Or: Here is the other. But actually there is nothing and no one there. Only ice. It is also cold. By my brother and me. Many think we would broil in the scorching heat. Once I wished a good dozen of the world's most intelligent men would gather around me. I would say to them: "So, gentlemen, show me your skills and prove to me, when you are so good, show the way north." But the intelligent men didn't like that. Not with me. I am one and my brother is the other. You know us, don't you?

Yusuff told me a story. Long before the camel dividing, I sat with Yusuff smoking a water pipe in the tent. His youngest son, Ha'im Tuck came in. The sheik was in a generous mood and gave Ha'im three of his prettiest harem girls for his use. A few minutes later, Tasc Henk and Staubi Gabru came in and complained that the youngest always favored. Yusuff then took a bag of precious stones out of his treasure chest and threw it to his sons. We thought peace had come with that. Far from it! Both sons argued loudly, who should get which stones. As I later left the tent, the sons came towards me. They asked me to fairly divide the stones. I felt obligated due to the hospitality extended to me to oblige. It was clear to me that however I would divide the stones, I would incur the anger and thus the revenge from one son. Nevertheless both were agreeable to my suggestion. How would the stones be divided?
