another riddle

two farmers were talking to eachother across the fence First farmer says "If you give me one of your sheep , i will have twice as many sheep as you have." The second farmer then says "No dont be greedy, you give me one of yours and we will have the same amount".  How many sheep did each farmer have?  PM me cheers Pete
