There
was a father who left 17 camels as an asset for his three sons.
When the father passed away, his sons opened up the Will.The Will of the father stated that the eldest son should get 1/2 (half) of total camels while the middle son should be given 1/3rd (one-third) and the youngest son should be given 1/9th (one-ninth) of the total camels.
As it was not possible to divide 17 into half
or 17 by 3 or 17 by 9, the three sons started to fight with each other. So, the
three sons decided to go to a wise man.
The wise man read the Will patiently. The wise man, after giving due thought,
brought one camel of his own and added the same to 17. That increased the total
to 18 camels.
Now, he started reading the deceased fathers Will.
Half of 18 = 9. So he gave the eldest son 9 camels
1/3rd of 18 = 6. So he gave the middle son 6 camels
1/9th of 18 = 2. So he gave the youngest son 2 camels.
Now add this up: 9 plus 6 plus 2 is 17 and this leaves one camel, which the
wise man took back!
Moral: The attitude of
negotiation and problem solving is to find the 18th camel i.e. the common
ground. Once a person is able to find the 18th camel 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
wont be able to reach any!
