In a village , there lived a family . It consisted of father and his 3 children . Father has looked after his children after the death of his wife . Now all the children have grown up . Father thought it is the right time to hand over his business to his children . But he wanted to give the responsibility to a wise one among his children . So he thought of a plan .....
He called all his children to meet him . As they gathered , father said to children " I am going to give all of you , 100 Rs each . You must buy something from this money such that it must cover the whole room of yours . "
Children agreed . First one went to nearby market with the money . But he could not find anything that can completely cover the room in just 100 Rs . Finally he could buy some fodder with the money . With that , he succeeded in covering the room .
Story of second one is no different . Not finding anything to buy within 100 Rs , he angrily covered the entire room with garbage !
But the third one , bought a lamp and some incense sticks . He kept them in his room .
It was becoming dark . Father wanted to know how his children performed in the test . He visited elder son's room . But room was filled with fodder . He ordered his son to clean the mess .
Now it is second son's room . Father was welcomed by hundreds of flies and mosquitoes before entering the room . Bad foul smell was coming too . Father was very disappointed by seeing this . He asked his son to clean the garbage immediately .
Finally , he went to younger son's room . There he could not find anything . Surprised , he asked his son what did he do with the money? That time , younger son returned half of the money to his father .
Father was confused . Younger son went inside the room . He lightened the lamp as it was getting darker . Then he lightened the incense sticks also . Now light and nice smell covered the entire room .
Father decided younger son would be the heir to his business .
