Who is the WINNER ?

Another sweet memory of my school days. Those were the days when I am still in Short pants but advanced from pencil to ball-pen stage.

Like Studies, like Enjoyment, always in the first lane. Very enthusiastic when it comes to games. Used to play with full energy levels and efforts. As a sports person (I think "KID" is better word) I used to have lot of friends and at the same time rivals too.. he he he he

Those were the days when Mega Star Chiranjeevi's (south Indian (Telugu) famous actor) "GANG LEADER" movie was released and all my friends were greatly inspired by that movie to such an extent, that they decided to form into a GANG. (i am exceptional because at home everybody is Super star Krishna's Fans, so no other option for me).

As i cant leave them, even I too joined the GANG. (you can call it as Thotti gang and what ever you like). But its too difficult to maintain a gang in those days too. one should spend 2-3Rs/day to prove their presence among the members, somehow I used to manage that also. Like that we used to have a gang of 5-6 people (better word will be "KIDS").

And at the same time we were inspired by the stories of "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" which was one of our English text book in syllabus. so always playing such type of nonsense fundoo games (which we thought of it as adventure). Running through the meadows and hiding in bushes for hours, paper boats for transport and sticks as our arms, soda goli's and a lot.

And major worry was to choose a leader. Everybody in the gang wants to be leader and nobody can accept the other as a leader. so this Gang decided to continue without a leader. How much close we might be to each other, still there will be some conflict between us for silly matters. In due course of time we evidenced lot of situations like that.

One fine evening, when I on my way to our DEN (Don't think too much, its none other then our school ground) two of my Gangsters (Mr.X and Mr.Y) were fighting for something, but not seriously. so thought of solving the problem and I entered the arena.

After hearing carefully to their problem I came to know that they were fighting about sharing something evenly.

Mr.X is arguing that " I payed the money so, it should be mine"
and Mr.Y says, "though you bought them, I stole the extra one, so it should be mine"

Those were their cut short arguments, I tried to solve the problem they were not convincing..

At last I got an Idea and said " Ok! guys cool down, I have an Idea if you both follow that, It will decide who among you deserves that thing well"

Both agreed and the verdict started.

I gave them a chocolate wrapper ("Nutrine Aasai Chocolate" very famous that time) and told them " Guyz hold on the either sides of the wrapper and pull, who ever is getting the wrapper, he is the winner"

They said "okay!!"

Mr.X is holding the wrapper on left side and Mr.Y on the right side

As I said ready they started pulling it with their full strengths. None gave up and the wrapper started stretching and at last they ended up breaking the wrapper.

They are still looking at each others blank face, "Now who is winner ??"

Then I told them, "Friends!! this is what happens if u stretch any discussion for long time, it will worse the situation and it may finally lead to break up of your friendship too."

Then they realized the fact and smiled at each other and thought of sharing the extra one equally.

Here is the interesting part started and ended too." where is the extra one?"

They started gazing at me..

I said "Sorry friends !!" and ran away from there... ha ha ha ha ha

[Actually they were quarreling about the same chocolate whose wrapper, I gave them to pull and by the time they were pulling, i swallowed the chocolate.. ha ha ha ha ha...]

Now tell me " Who is the WINNER ???"
