How to make a fight

There were two brothers for many years in the same place and never argued with each other. He said one to another: “We will make a feud like other people.” In reply, he said to his brother: “I don’t know what kind of strife is.” He said to him: “So I put a brick in the middle and say:” He is mine “, and you say:“ No, mine ”. This will be the beginning. ” And they did it. And one of them says: "This is mine." The other one said, "No, mine." And the first one said: “Yes, yes, it is yours, take it and go.” And they parted, and could not quarrel among themselves. And they remained in peace until the day of their death.
