The two Frogs

Two frogs dwelt in the same pool. The pool being dried up under the summer’s heat, they left it, and set out together to seek another home.

Division of 19 Horses

One rich man owned 19 horses when he died. In his last will and testament he had written that upon his death. Half the horses he owned should go to his only son; one fourth to the village temple and one fifth to the faithful servant. The village elders could not stop scratching their heads. How can they give half of the 19 horse to the son? You can not cut up a horse. They puzzled over this dilemma for more than two weeks and then decided to send for a wise man how was living in a neighboring village. The wise man came riding on his horse and asked the villagers if he could be of any help to them. The village elders told him about the rich man’s last will and testament which stated that half of the (19) horses must be given to his only son, one fourth must go to the temple and one fifth to the faithful servant. The wise man said he would immediately solve their problems without any delay whatsoever. He had the 19 horses placed in a row standing next to one another.

 

Then he added his own horse as the 20th horse. Now he went about giving half of the 20 horses that is ten horses to the son. One fourth of 20- that is 5 horses were given to the temple committee. One fifth of twenty that is 4 horses were given the faithful servant. Ten plus five plus four made 19 horses. The remaining 20th horse was his own his own which he promptly mounted, spoke a few inspiring words, road back home. The villagers were simply dumbfounded, full of disbelief and filled with admiration. And the parting words of the wise man were inscribed in their hearts and minds, which they greatly cherished in their hearts and minds, which they greatly cherished and passed on to their succeeding generations till today.

Moral of the Story :

Most of the problems can be solved just by a little

commonsense.
