The Tale Of Two Pebbles

Many years ago in a small Indian village a poor farmer had borrowed

A large sum of money from a village moneylender. The moneylender was

Old and ugly, and he promised to forget the farmer’s debt if he could

Marry his beautiful daughter Myra.

Both the farmer and his daughter were horrified and didn’t want

to agree. ≪Let Providence decide the matter!≫ the cunning moneylender

suggested. ≪I’ll put a black pebble and a white pebble into a money

Bag. Then Myra should pick one pebble from the bag. If she picks the

Black pebble, she will become my wife and I’ll forgive you the debt. If

She picks the white pebble she doesn’t need to get married and the debt

will still be forgiven.≫

They were standing on a pebble path and the moneylender bent over

To pick up two pebbles. But Myra noticed that he had picked up two

black pebbles and put them into the bag. ≪Now pick a pebble from the

bag!≫ he said.

Myra put her hand into the moneybag and drew out a pebble. Without

Looking at it, she let it fall onto the path where it became lost among

All the other pebbles.

≪Oh, how clumsy of me!≫ she said. ≪But never mind, if you look

Into the bag for the one that is left, you will be able to tell which pebble

I picked.≫
