Polar bear and brown bear

Once forest brown bear went north, to the sea. At this time, the maritime polar bear went on the ice to the South, to the ground. They met on the shore of the sea. The polar bear stood up on end.

He said:

— Hey, you, brown bear, why are you going on my earth?

The brown bear answered:

— When did you have it, the earth? Your place is in the sea! Your earth is an ice floe! The polar bear reared. The brown bear reared. They grabbed, and fight began. They fought till the midday — nobody overcame. They fought till the evening. Both were tired. They sat down in a silence. The brown bear was the first who broke the silence. He told:

— It appears, that you, polar bear, is stronger. But I am smarter and slippier. Therefore none of us is a winner. There is nothing to divide between us? After all, we are brothers.The polar bear told:

— That's right, we are brothers. And there is nothing to divide between us. Our land is boundless.

Brown Bear said:

— Yes, my forest is huge. I have nothing to do in your ice.

Polar Bear said:

— And I have nothing to do in your forest.

I have never come there! Let’s live where we are and not to disturb each other.

The brown bear went back to the wood. The polar bear remained on the seashore.

Since then the owner of the wood lives in the wood, the owner of the sea lives in the sea. And no one disturbs each other!
