them only two chickens. Just as they were about to eat, the father said, "My boy, I have spent a lot of money
on you to send you to Oxford University. Now I want to know what you have learnt." The son smiled and said,
"Father, I have studied a science which can make prove that these two chickens on the plate are really three
chickens."
     "Well," said the father, "this is something I would like very much to know."
     "There are two chickens on the plate," said the son, he took one of the chickens in this hand and said, "Here
is one more, and one and two makes three. So there are three chickens." Then the father took one of the
chickens to himself, gave the other to his wife, and said, "I will have one of the chickens myself, your mother
shall have another, and you can have the third for your supper and nothing else." The father kept his words and
so his son went without his supper.

                                                       Is the servant clever or foolish?
     This is an old story. It was first told long ago. A rich man wanted to make a journey to another town. He
was a businessman. He wanted to take things to sell. He also wanted to take some gold to buy some things
with. He decided to take ten servants with him. They would carry the things to sell and the food to eat on the
journey.

all my servants. You cannot carry a heavy load. You may choose the lightest load to carry."
     The servant thanked his master. He pointed to the biggest load. This was bread for them to eat on the
journey.

cheerfully and the journey began. They walked for four hours. Then they stopped for a rest. They all ate some
