Who Is Wise

Once upon a time, 10 wise persons went to North India. They want to take a bath in the River Ganges.

One week they stayed there. They want to safeguard others. So altogether combinedly hold the hands and used to take a dip in the river Ganges. The last day they missed holding the other person's hands.

So they were confused about whether all 10 persons are safe. They counted numbers. The person who was counting not including the self. Only nine was found. One poor villager was seeing this comedy. So he was advising If I found the 10 persons you have to give me a hundred rupees,

OK, wise persons accepted. Finally, he asked to pay Rs. 10 from each head. So Rs. 100 was dispersed, the wise persons were happy. They came to the conclusion, that all are safe, none was missed.
