Translated by Charise Myngheer.
Quarreling over who has more cookies, two fox siblings reconsider their behavior when they encounter two mice happily sharing their one and only kernel of corn, who explain, "if one of us starved, we wouldn't have anybody to play with." The bickering siblings, ably portrayed in the illustrations, will be familiar to many readers, but the didactic text is confusing.
