There was a great mathematician in a village. He was often called by the local king to advice. His reputation had spread So it hurt him very much when the village headman told him, "You may be a great mathematician who advises the king but your son does not know the value of gold or silver."
The mathematician called his son and asked, "What is more valuable - gold or silver?" "Gold," said the son. "That is correct. Why is it then that the village headman makes fun of you? He teases me every day.
So the son told his father that Every day on my way to school, headman holds out a silver coin in one hand and a gold coin in other,asks me to pick up the more valuable coin. I pick the silver coin. He laughs, everyone makes fun of me. then I go to school.
This happens every day. That is why they tell you I do not know the value of gold or silver." The father was confused. His son knew the value of gold and silver, and yet when asked to choose between a gold coin and silver coin always picked the silver coin. "Why don't you pick up the gold coin? the son took father to his room and showed him a box. There were at least a hundred silver coins.
son said, "The day I pick up the gold coin the game will stop. They will stop having fun and I will stop making money.
For you which is valuable
Collection of silver for 10 years stright
Or pick up one gold coin and stop there.
Think deep and wisely
