In Greek, lived a very wealthy king and a wise boy.
The king envy of the boy and decided to test the boy.
On the day appointed, the king met the boy and ask him to choose two balls in the bag.
If he gets the white one, he will be the heir to his throne, if he chooses a black one, the boy will be his slave.
The boy knows well the king motives that both balls are black.
There are 2 ways to answer the riddle:
The first is to choose a ball and throw it away or losing it, so that the king has no option, but to show out his black ball. Hence, winning by default and show how a champion he is. However, he will not have the trust of the king at all.
The second better option is to show that he has a black ball. He lost the game and be a slave. From that moment onward, he won the heart of the king and the king knowing quite well that the boy is not greedy, thinking logically and rationally, will consult him for important matters and give his heart (which is trust), to the boy sooner or later.
Moral of the story: It is better to win the heart than to win by deceiving, defaults or wits.
Be Bless as Always,
