As two men were travelling through a wood, one of them took up an axe
which he saw lying upon the ground. "Look here," said he to his
companion, "I have found an axe."
"Don't say, 'I have found it,'" said the other, "but 'We have found
it.' As we are companions, we ought to share it between us." The
first would not agree to this idea, however.
They had not gone far when they heard the owner of the axe calling
after them in a great passion. "We are in for it!" cried he who had
the axe.
"Nay," answered the other, "say 'I'm in for it!'--not we. You would
not let me share the prize, and I am not going to share the danger."
