From today onwards, I’ll be randomly posting some short stories with deep meanings on this blog. Hope your enjoy. ;)

===================================

There was once an old man who has three children and owns 17 horses. After his death, he stated in his will that since the eldest son is already independent, he will get only 1/9 of the horses. As for the second child, since he’s about to graduate, he will get 1/3 of the horses and finally for the youngest son, since he’s still young, he’ll get 1/2 of the horses. Just because there are 17 horses, there is no way that they can spread it out according to the will unless they kill one of the horses and the siblings started fighting among themselves.

A while later, a wise man appeared and offered an extra horse for them to spread according to the will, the wise man said that “After you’ve got all your horses according to the will, just return me the remaining ones will do.”

In the end, a miracle appeared, Since now there are 18 horses, The eldest son’s 1/9 was able to get him 2 horses, second son’s 1/3 got him 6 horses and the youngest’s 1/2 got him 9 horses. Since 2 + 6 + 9 = 17, the remaining horse was returned to the wise man and everything is solved.

Can everything in the world end up in such a win-win situation?

How many wise people are there outside to help us all the time?
