in court today.So,they all came to meet the judge.The judge asked"Who is the thief?" No one answered.Then he said
"I will give each of you a stick.They are all the same size.You shall keep this but,who's stick will grow an inch
he's the theif.The seven all servants went their.At night the fifth servant knew his stick will grow one inch.So he cut it the stick one inch.The next day the judge measured
the sticks.All were the same eccept for the fifth servant's
stick.Then the judge said"The fifth servant is the theif!"
The fifth answered"Okay! I stole it" the king asked the judge how did you find out! He answered because the one who was the theif wouldn't sleep and in fear will make changes in the stick.
