a rich man had twenty servants. one of them stole some gold from him, and the man could not tell which servant was the thief. Each servant said that he was honest . At last the man thought of a plan .He gave each servant a stick.
“Take these magic sticks,” he said to them. “Bring them back to me tomorrow . The one which the thief has taken will grow there inches longer than the other
All the servants took their sticks away. The real thief was afraid. He cut three inches off his sick so that it would not be longer than the others.
The next day all the servants gave their sticks back to their master. The clever master found the thief and got his gold back.
