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 clss='lgc'>:lgc> my sons, I have eleven camels. I bequeath half of them to the oldest, a quarter to the second son, and to you, my younlss="trms">gest, I give a sixth. Upon the father's death, the sons found themselves quite perplexed<lgc clss='lgc'>:lgc> how to divide their inlss="trms">heritancelss='qstn'>? A war over the division of goods seemed inevitable. 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 clss='lgc'>: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 inlss="trms">heritance. The sons brought the old camel back with them and divided up the inlss="trms">heritance<lgc clss='lgc'>:lgc> the first then received six camels, the second three and the younlss="trms">gest two. This then left the camel of the old sage, which they could return to his owner.
