[LM_NET] GEN: Middle Eastern myth/ fable

["Lyle, Nancy" <NLyle@TUSD.K12.CA.US>]

Netters,
 
Do any of you know of a myth or fable about two
brothers who inherit a mango tree, cow, and bed
from their parents.  The boys agree to share the
items-one will take the top of the tree and one
the bottom, one will take the bed in the morning
and one at night.
 
A student has submitted such a story, but the 
teacher knows it's not his work.  When questioned, 
the student denied copying it and said the teacher 
could even check the internet.
 
The teacher thinks perhaps it's a traditional tale
from the Middle East or East.  Does it sound 
familiar to anyone?
 
Thanks!
 
Nancy
