משנה: הַבַּיִת וְהָעֲלִיָיה שֶׁל שְׁנַיִם שֶׁנָּפְלוּ שְׁנֵיהֶן חוֹלְקִין בָּעֵצִים וּבָאֲבָנִים וּבֶעָפָר. רוֹאִין אֵילּוּ אֲבָנִים הָרְאוּיוֹת לְהִשְׁתַּבֵּר. הָיָה אֶחָד מֵהֶן מַכִּיר מִקְצָת אֲבָנָיו נוֹטְלָן וְעוֹלוֹת לוֹ מִן הַחֶשְׁבּוֹן.
MISHNAH: If the ground floor and the upper floor belonging to two different persons collapse, they divide wood, stones, and dust between themselves. One takes into consideration which stones were at risk to break. If one of them recognized his stones, he takes them, and they are debited to his account.
