Strange bet

There is a lot of controversy between two brothers in a matter of strange debate. Both of them are aged. Nobody goes less than anyone. After a lot of logic, they decided to settle the dispute, betting them. Those who win will accept his words and others. The English are so

At that time, the bank of England introduced two banknotes of one million pounds. The purpose was foreign exchange. While spending a note, the other was credited to the bank. At the same time, the first brother told the second brother, "If he gives this banknote to any foreigner in London, he will die starvation." That is the point of the argument. He said, 'But the condition is that the man must be honest and intelligent. There can be no other meaning, there should not be any friend in London. '

The second brother said with hunker, 'I do not believe!'

The first brother wanted to explain, 'When the bank or some other bank to break such a large note, he will be jailed. Everyone will think, he has stolen the banknotes. '

In this way, their debate was going on. day after day. Finally, the second brother offered a suggestion to Baja as a possible solution, saying, 'If within 30 days the foreigner does not go to jail with banknotes, then I will give 20 thousand pounds. In contrast, I have to give it. '

The first brother agreed. He went to the bank and bought 10 million pounds of notes. Returning home, he wrote a letter mentioning the content of the wizard. Then wait for the wait. Two brothers came and sat in front of the window.

People come along the road, people go. But people who fulfill all the requirements of the wizard do not fall in their eyes. Nobody looks honest but there is not enough intellectual impression on the face. Though someone seems intelligent they are not poor. Many of the pedestrians were honest, intelligent and poor, but they were not strangers.

At that time they saw me with the window. They felt like they were looking for me. I went through thousands of questions, all my questions. After that, they did not have a better person than me for their wager.

I did not know anything at all. Their strange words are quite boring. I asked for the explanation. One of the two gentlemen handed an envelope in my hand. I wanted to open. He said, 'Wait until you reach the hotel right now. Then take time to study diligently. '

He was a little overwhelmed and wanted to talk to them about the matter. They did not respond. Am I a joke about them? Very angry. They got out of here. The envelope opened a few miles away. What a surprise! Money inside! I was hungry for 24 hours, and I could not wait. Who else read the letter!

I ran to find a restaurant. I got it in front of me, I said. She did not eat anything for many days. Finally, I finished the envelope to meet the bill. Looking at the note properly, I am in a state of uneasiness. One million pounds notes!

Being shocked he looked at the note. Those two gentlemen must have made a mistake. They probably wanted to give me a £ 1 note.

Looking back, the restaurant owner was looking at the note. Both of them are confused I did not understand what to say or should. In the right-hand side of the note owner's restaurant, I said, 'return the rest to the price.'

The owner repeatedly asked for forgiveness, 'I am so sorry. I do not have the ability to redeem the note. '

I said I have no more notes. I requested to break the hand note. The owner of the restaurant said, 'When you want you to pay the price. I understand that you are very rich people. Prefer to make fun of people after wearing a formal dress. Whenever you want, you can eat whatever you wish, as much as you like. After all, the bill will not be paid at any time.
