Many years ago a village farmer owed a large sum of money to a village money lender. Themoney lender told the farmer that he would forgo the farmer's debt if he could marry the farmer's daughter. He told them that he would put a black pebble and a white pebble in a bag. If the girl picked the black pebble she would become his wife and the farmer need not pay the debt. If she picked the white pebble she need not marry him and the farmer need not pay his debt. Then he put two pebbles in a bag. The girl found that he picked two black pebbles. While drawing the pebble from the bag she dropped it. It was lost in the other pebbles on the ground. She asked the money lender to look into the bag and understand which pebble she had picked up.
