The Orange Ants and Red Ants lived on opposite sides of the Great Puddle. They often traded goods with each other.
One day, the Orange Ants’ leader demanded that the Red Ants reduce the price of everything they sold by 50%.
The Red Ants’ leader said, “Unfair trade practice!” and refused.
The Orange Ants’ leader said, “Well, then we will tariff your goods by 50%.”
The Red Ants’ leader said, “Well, then we will tariff your goods by 50% too.”
The Orange Ants’ leader said, “Fine, then I will change the name of the Great Puddle to the Orange Puddle.”
