Answer

The Intelligent Fisherman
Many many years ago in Sultanpur, one day, the King held a feast. However, there was no fish in the feast. This made the King very sad. Just then a fisherman came at the palace gates. He was carrying a very big fish. He S wanted to present the fish to the King. The gatekeeper stopped him at the gate and refused S to let him go in. The fisherman pleaded with t him, so the gatekeeper said, “I will let you go s in ‘only on one condition, that, you will share half of what you get from the King with me.” The fisherman agreed.
The fisherman went in. The King was very pleased to see such a big fish. He asked the fisherman to name his prize. At this the fisherman S’ replied, “Please give me hundred lashes on my s bareback.” The King was surprised. The King offered him a lot of gold. But the fisherman was adamant. So the king ordered his servants to S’ give him hundred lashes on his bareback. After fifty lashes, the fisherman asked the servants to stop. He then turned to the King and said, “Sir, your gatekeeper had wished to share half portion of the reward, that you would give me S for the fish… please give him the remaining fifty lashes.” On hearing this, the King dismissed s the gatekeeper and rewarded the fisherman for his intelligence.
