Once upon a time, Mayen boys were walking along the road: boys from the village of Mayen. And they found three gold coins. What luck!
But how to separate them? There were two boys, and three coins. Here's the challenge!
They thought and guessed, they racked their brains, but they couldn’t come up with anything and decided to get even:
- Once - mine!
- Two is yours!
Whose is the third? No, that won't do.
- You and me are two!
- Me and you are three!
And where is it? It didn't work out again. And the Mayen boys decided to go to Uncle Erbinak for advice.
Uncle Erbinak, without thinking twice, gave one coin to one boy, another to another, and kept the third for himself. Clever, huh?
And the Mayen boys went home very happy.
Uncle Erbinak has a golden head!
Shhh, not a head, but a chest. “Golden Chest” - that’s what they called it in the village. And for what, do you think?
