Once upon a time, in a land of fairies and goblins, there lived a group of animals who wanted to go for a picnic in the forest. They needed to cooperate to make it happen. The rabbit assumed that he had the best idea and was very convincing when he told everyone that they should all bring carrots as the main dish. The others agreed, but the bear denied and said he would bring honey instead. On the day of the picnic, they arrived to find that the rabbits had brought too many carrots and the bear had brought too much honey. They all looked at each other, not knowing what to do, until the wise old owl suggested that they assume the appropriate roles and divide the food evenly. And so they did, and they all enjoyed a delicious meal together. The end.
