King William was in the habit of putting riddles and puzzles to his people. He often asked which were strange. His people had to use words in a way to answer these questions.
Once William asked a very strange question. He looked at his people. he looked, one by one the heads began to hang low in search of an answer. It was at that moment that George entered the palace. George the habit of the king. He understood the at once and asked, “May I know the question so that I can for an answer?”
William said, “How many crows(乌鸦) are there in the city?”
even a moment’s thought, George replied, “There are fifty thousand five hundred and eighty nine crows, My Lord.”
“How can you be so ?” asked William.
George said, “Make your men , My Lord. If you find more crows it means some have come to visit their relatives(亲戚) here. If you find crows it means some have gone to visit their relatives somewhere else.”
William was pleased very much by George’s wise answer.
