A Short Story ---- The Will (1'52")
There was an old man who had three sons and seventeen horses. “I've written my will,” he told his sons. “I'm going to leave my horses to the three of you. But you must share them as I say.”
The old man died. The will was opened. “To my three sons, I leave my seventeen horses. My eldest son shall take a half. My second son shall take a third. My youngest son shall take a ninth. Shed no blood. Do not kill. You must obey your father's will.”
The three sons were puzzled. At school, they had been well-taught, but not so well that they could divide seventeen by two, seventeen by three, seventeen by nine, and still obey their father's will.
What did they do ? They went to a wise man and asked his advice. “I will give you a horse,” said the wise man, “now go away and obey your father's will.”
They took the horse and went away. They now had eighteen horses. The eldest son took a half, the second son took a third, the youngest son took a ninth, and the wise man' horse, they gave it back.
