Long long time ago at India...
A father had 4 cows...
And when the father dies, he took one of the cow also (old school fairy tales...)
Ok la, one cow died. So now left 3 cows
But in the will which the father made before he died:
One quarter of the herd for each son
So now is it impossible to divide the cow evenly...
And Don't even thinking of cutting the cow because
Cow is a sacred animal in India...
The 3 sons could not think of a solution...
They discuss for whole day long... but still they couldn't find a fair solution
...
...
...
Still thinking...
Haiya no need to think so much
Then appear a very very handsome prince (cehhh...)
The handsomeness had nothing to do with the story line anyway
So this prince solve it easily.. while the 3 sons break their head whole day
And meet no solution...
The solution:
The prince lend one of his cow to the 3 sons.
So now there is 4 cows again
And so the son each get 1 cow each
the extra cow returned to the prince
See.. the prince did not lost any of his cow... (Damn smart)
