An old man, sensing his impending death, called to his side his three sons, to share with them the little he still owned. He said to them='lgc'>: my sons, I have eleven camels.

With no apparent solution, the sons went to a neighbouring village to seek advice from an old sage. The old man thought awhile and then shook his head='lgc'>: I cannot resolve this problem. The only thing I can do for you is to give you my old camel. He is not very obedient and often does as he pleases. I don't know if you can use him but I think he may help you divide your in="trms">heritance.
