Answers
Answer:Long time back a rich man held a grand feast . The buffet table was full of delicious and mouth watering dishes . But at the last moment the rich man wanted a big fried fish in the center of the long table so as to make his party appear more appreciable. Unfortunately it had been raining since the morning and the fish markets were full of water. So he couldn't get any fish.
Surprisingly a Fisherman had caught two big fishes simultaneously. So he decided that he would keep one for himself and his family and the another one would be given to the rich man. The Fisherman went to his massive mansion and asked the gate keeper to let off him but he denied. The gatekeeper was a greedy person and demanded for half the Profit he would get on by selling the fish to the rich man. The fisherman saw him eye to eye.
The rich man was glad to see the fish. He asked the fisherman for its price. He said that he just wanted 100 lashes on his back. The rich man was surprised at his words and he couldn't deny. He ordered his servants to give him lashes but gently. When he had got fifty he cried "stop, stop. I have a partner in this business and he has an equal share of these lashes." The gatekeeper was brought in and was given another fifty lashes. There was a bit confusion there. So the fisherman hit the nail on the head and described everything. The rich man was mesmerized by fisherman's wit and any with gatekeeper's greedy attitude . The gatekeeper was dismissed from service . The fisherman was given a handsome reward.
