Bhaskar was a wealthy, worldly-wise merchant. He had one son, Nakul, One day, Bhaskar fell ill and realized he was going to die, So he called Nakul to him and gave him some advice,
When you do business and travel to foreign lands, make sure you know the local culture well. Try to gain as much information as you can before you go there, as only your knowledge and presence of mind will come to your help in an unknown land.
Nakul listened to his father's words carefully.Bhaskar died soon after and Nakul began to look after the business.
Once, he had to sail to a faraway country on work. There, he stayed in an inn. He got talking to its owner and, without realizing it, ended up telling the man all about his life, the business and his father.
Next day, he went to the market and was amazed when a one-armed man rushed up to him
I need A day to think
Your father took one of my arms as a Joan. You must return it to me
Then, a woman came up to him
I need A day to think
Your father married me. He used to send me money every month. Now that he dead, you must give me money
You must drink all the water in the sea , or else give me all the goods in your ship
A man invited him to a game of dice. Poor Nakul did not know that they were playing with a trick dice He lost all the games. But the man who won set an unusual condition.
