Where there is a wit, there is a way

There was a rich man in a locality. He used to lend his money to the poor at a high interest.

Once he lent to a poor farmer. But the farmer couldn't return it within time. In fact, he was not in that condition. Realizing it the evil minded rich man proposed to marry his daughter and in return he won't claim for the money again. But the farmer didn't agree.

The rich man understand that the farmer is unable to return his money and never wants to marry her daughter with him. But he is not a person to give up so easily.

He hit upon a plan and told, "I'll put two stones in a bag. One is black and another is white. If your daughter picks up the white one, I'll not claim for the money and won't marry her. But if she picks up the black one, I'll not still ask for the money. But you have to allow me to marry your daughter."

Finding no way the farmer agreed.

On the day of selection the girl noticed that the rich man put two black stones (instead of putting one white and one black) inside the bag. But she was unable to say anything.

Now her turn came. She became depressed as there was no hope left. But she continued thinking.

In the meanwhile she got one of the black stones from the bag and held it inside her handfuls. When she was approaching towards the rich man to submit her stone, she suddenly slipped willingly. And this black stone was lost!!

Then people asked, "how will we understand now which stone she picked?"

This time the girl replied to see the stone that is inside the bag. Everyone did so and found out that the black one is there. So the solution is simple, she picked up the white one!!

The rich man could understand the girl's cleverness. But couldn't express that since there were many people.

And thus the great misery vanished from her and her father's life!!
