The Travelers and the Hatchet

Two men were walking in the woods when one found a hatchet.

“I found it!” he shouted.

But when the owner of the hatchet came running angrily, the man who found it said to his friend, “We’re in trouble!”

The friend replied, “No—you said you found it, so it’s your problem.”

Moral: If you want to claim all the credit, you must also face the consequences alone.
