The Jackal and the Hedgehog (The Onion Field)

The Jackal and the Hedgehog decided to become partners in farming. They cleared a piece of land and planted onions. When the harvest was ready, the Jackal, thinking he was the smartest, said to the Hedgehog:
"My friend, let us divide the crop fairly. I will take everything that grows above the ground, and you can have everything that grows under the ground."
The Hedgehog agreed. When they harvested, the Jackal took all the green leaves, which were bitter and useless. The Hedgehog dug up the onions and had plenty of food for the winter.
The Jackal was furious. The next year, they planted wheat. The Jackal said: "This time, I will take what is under the ground, and you take what is above!"
Again, the Hedgehog agreed. At harvest, the Jackal got the dry roots, while the Hedgehog got the golden grain.
