Whew!!! I thought for a minute you were going to slaughter the horses and divide the meat by weight.Clever Math
Now add up how many horses they have:
Eldest son……..9
Middle son…....6
Youngest son….2
TOTAL IS……17
Now this leaves one horse over, so the farmer friend takes his horse back to his farm.
Problem Solved!
Moral:
The attitude of negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th horse i.e. the common ground. Once a person is able to find the 18th horse the issue is resolved. It is difficult at times. However, to reach a solution, the first step is to believe that there is a solution. If we think that there is no solution, we won’t be able to reach any!
That’s clever Mathematics!
