AN OIL AND A VINEGAR BOTTLE were once inseparable friends. "I love your company like nothing else in the world!", one told the other, and every time they cooked, they did it together. The kitchenware of the household were jealous of their great talent, as together they cooked the most delicious plates.
"Your friend thinks her vinegar more important than your oil", the gossipy coffee pot told the oil bottle one day she found her alone. The claim came as a big shock to her. "No wonder that when she cleans the dishes, she never calls you, but prefers to shower them with vinegar until they are clean", the coffee pot added, making her think twice. The oil bottle then went straight to her drawer to weep, as the vinegar bottle was her best friend.
"Your friend finds her oil more important than your vinegar", the coffee pot then told the vinegar bottle only a few minutes later when she happened to pass by. "The proof is that she never calls you every time she lights the oil lamp", she added, making her doubt her friend's loyalty. The vinegar bottle then went back to the drawer where she gave a big fight with her best friend.
"The oil and the vinegar bottle are fighting over who is the best cook in the house!", the gossipy coffee pot then told the other kitchenware. "So, from now on, we won't have what to eat, as all dishes need either oil or vinegar, or even both of them. Yet, they won't even talk to each other", she added as she rubbed her hands with satisfaction. The other kitchenware were terrified to hear it, as they were the only cooks in the house, and without their help they couldn't even make a sandwich. "Let's find an easy way to prove to them that we love them equally", they thought. So, they made a Greek salad. First, they cut fresh tomatoes and cucumber, which they placed in a big bowl. Then they added onion, peppers and feta cheese. Last but not least, they added oregano, as well as a few fresh olives. "Give us vinegar and oil, put an end to bitter turmoil", they then protested and marched to the drawer where the oil and vinegar bottle were sitting, repeating the same slogan again and again "...give us vinegar and oil, put an end to bitter turmoil" and carrying huge banners. Yet, they kept fighting, neither of the two taking a step back. The kitchenware then thought of splitting the salad into two bowls instead of one, and to give one each. So it happened. The oil bottle took her own and put oil in it. So did the vinegar bottle. In the end, they asked them to taste each other's bowl and let them know what they thought. "It's not the same without vinegar...", the oil bottle complained. "And it's not the same without oil either..., it's tasteless", they vinegar bottle admitted in turn. "But the coffee pot told me that...", they both exclaimed at the same time. No sooner had they completed their phrase than they realized what had happened. The kitchenware took the two small bowls and merged them again back into the big bowl so as to mix the oil and the vinegar together. "It's delicious!", both bottles exclaimed as soon as they tasted it and realized that oil and vinegar are both necessary and equally important in cooking. Since that time, and after apologizing to each other, they became good friends again and kept cooking the most delicious dishes together. As for the coffee pot? As soon as the kitchenware realized what she had done, they made her eat plates cooked without any oil or vinegar so as to punish her....
