One day two friends were going somewhere and they saw a golden axe lying on the way. One of them jumped on it and grabbed it. He looked at it for a while and said, 'Aha! I am very lucky to find this golden axe. I will sell this and get lot of money'. On hearing this his friend said, 'Why are you saying that 'You' found this axe? You must say that 'We' found this axe because we both saw it together'. The first friend said, 'I picked the golden axe first, so how can you have any share in it? I will not share it with you'. The second friend kept quiet. Meanwhile the owner of the golden axe came there and asked the one who held the axe, 'Where are you taking my axe? You robber, I will take you to the king'.
He got very scared and told his friend that we both are in great trouble now, neither we would have picked this axe nor we would have been in problem. To this his friend replied, 'A couple of minutes back you were saying that the axe belong to you and now after being caught you are changing colors. It is not 'We' but 'You' who is in trouble'. Hearing this the first friend started crying, the second friend had compassion on him and told the owner of the axe that my friend did not steal your axe, he found it lying here so you cannot blame him for theft. The axe owner released him. The first friend realised his mistake and regretted on deceiving his friend.
Moral: Equal contribution in joy and sorrow make the true friendship go on.
