A
Problem :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
horses to the son? You cannot cut up a horse. They puzzled over this dilemma
for more than two weeks and then decided to send for a wise man who was living
in a neighboring village.
The
wise man came riding on his horse and asked the villagers if he can 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 will immediately solve their problem 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 to the faithful servant. Ten plus five plus four made 19
horses. The remaining 20th horse was his own which he promptly mounted, spoke a
few inspiring words, and rode back home.
