The peach and the apple decided to have a contest to determine which one was more beautiful than the other. However, when tempers flared and the competition appeared to be getting out of hand, a blackberry thrust his head from a nearby bush and carried out, "This dispute's gone on long enough. Let's all be friends and stop this nonsense!"
The loudest quarrels are often the most petty.
