Clever Minister - Short story

Hi Steemitians,

Once an oil trader and the villager came to King with a quarrel about the money Bag.

Oil trader said that When the villager came to buy oil from him he gave them the oil and collected money from them. But villager said he had never visited Oil shop. Each claimed that the bag belonged to him.

Everybody in the court were surprised and was waiting eagerly how King would solve this problem.

King asked Minister to find the solution. He asked for some water in a bowl. The servant brought the water and minister placed the bag in the bowl. After sometime everybody saw some oil float on water. Minister told that the bag belonged to the oil trader and not to the villager. If villager didnt visit the oil shop then there would be no oil on coins or bag.

Everybody praised Minister and the villager was punished.
