Micko tells the story about a dispute between 2 young clowns over an orange. Both young clowns want the whole orange. The young clowns are whining and crying and threatening to throw pies at each other.
An adult clown, Micko, sees what’s going on and says it’s easy to resolve this issue: just cut the orange in half, and explains that this is a compromise.
Another clown, Professor ZoZo hears this and asks the young clowns why they want the orange-what their interests are. One young clown wanted to eat the orange, and the other young clown wanted the orange peels to make an upside-down orange peel cake. So Professor ZoZo said a better solution would be to peel the orange so each young clown could be happy, explaing this woule be a win-wiin solution.
Micko listened and took notes.
