17 Camels and 3 Sons Short Story
Teaching math and Moral value at the same time.
Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived in a village. The old had only one earring source and that’s he had 17 camels.
By those 17 camels, he sold milk in the market. Suddenly, one day an old man died. He had left a letter, leaving all the properties for his three sons.
But before the old man died he wrote a letter and a will.
After the funeral work has been done perfectly, the sons read the will. In the letter, an old man shows his love and affection toward his sons.
However, In the will, he ( an old) gave all his properties to his 3 sons equally, and he distributed his assets in very different ways.
The properties were not divided equally among the three sons as 17 is an odd number and a prime number which could be distributed with three.
The old man wrote in the letter that the elder one will get half of the 17 camels, the middle one will get 1 third of the 17 camels and the youngest one will get 1 ninth of his parts.
After reading the whole letter all of them were silent, they asked each other how to solve this problem.
How could they divide these 17 camels and give the eldest, middle and youngest sons?
They spent some days thinking about how they could solve this issue .
But after passing those days, all the sons get their hands down and take them to the wise man in the village who can solve this complex problem.
The wise man listened to the problem with full concern and instantly found a solution. He told them to fetch all the camels for him.
The Sons brought all the camels to the wise man’s place where he said. Wise added a camel owned by him with those 17 camels. Now the total number of camels is 18.
Now, The wise said to the eldest son to read the letter as it says, The eldest one will get half of the 17 camels which means 18/2–9 camels.
So, 9 camels went to the eldest son.

So, the remaining 9 camels.
Then, the wise man told the middle son to read the letter as it says, the middle one will get 1 third of the 17 camels which means 18/3–6. So, 6 camels went to the second son.
The total number of camels got two brothers was 9 + 6 = 15 camels.
At least the Third son read out the letter as it says, The third one will get 1 ninth of the 17 camels which means 18/ 9 = 2 camels. So, 2 camels went to the third son.
Totally, the three sons are 9 + 6 + 2 = 17 camels as per the letter says.
After that, The wise man takes his one camel back from the Total of 18 camels.
The wise man solves issues with his smartness and talent.
