The beginning
A long time ago, there was a king in India. The king’s favourite game was chess.
One day, a wise old man came to the palace and the king challenged him to a game. The king promised the old man, “You can have any prize if you win the game.”
Read Paragraphs 1 and 2.
The king and the old man played the game for a long time. Finally, the old man won. So the king ordered his men to collect a bag of rice. He put one grain on the first square, two on the second, and so on. The king quickly realized the problem—even with all the rice in the country, he would still not have enough rice to put on all the squares!
