Once upon a time, there lived an old man.
He had three sons. One day, he called them together and said, "Sons, I will
die soon. To my eldest son give half my camels, to my second, one third(三分之ー),
and to my youngest, one ninth(九分之一)." Soon after
that he died. The old man had seventeen camels, and the
three brothers didn't know how to do as their father said. They thought for a
long time about the problem, and it seemed that they must either kill some of
the camels and cut them into pieces, or disobey their father. At last,
they went to their father's old friend and asked for his advice. As soon as he
heard their story, he said. "I will help you. I was a good friend of your
fathers. I am old. I have only one camel, but take it. It is yours." The three sons thanked the old man and took
his camel. Now they found it was easy to do as their father wished. The eldest
took half—that was nine camels; the second took one third—that was six; and the
youngest took one ninth—that was two. After each had got his camels, they found
that there was still a camel there. To show their thanks to their father's
