Once there was a fight between a tiger and a donkey on the color of grass. The donkey was adamant that grass is blue while tiger was not ready to accept it. So, they both went to the court of the lion king for resolving their fight.
The lion listened to their arguments and asked for the reason of fight. The donkey said, "O King! This foolish tiger is saying that grass is green. Please ask this tiger to accept that grass is blue. I only love blue color. I eat grass and drink water. They both have to be blue."
The lion said, "You are absolutely right, grass is not green. It is blue." The donkey became ecstatic and urged to punish the tiger. The lion agreed and said, "Sure, the tiger must be punished. The punishment would be that tiger would not talk to you and can not debate with you for next five years. You win. The case is closed." The donkey happily left hearing the decision.
The tiger was puzzled with all this and asked the lion, "Do you really think I was wrong?" The lion said, "It was not the fight for who was wrong. It was the fight with a fool who can waste his and other people time for petty things. I gave the decision so that you do not have to fight with the foolish donkey and you can live peacefully. Also, I have much more important tasks to do and I wanted to avoid such stupid fights coming to me. Hence gave this decision."
