Once upon a time, an old man with three sons lived in a village. He had 17 camels. When he died, he left a will (遗嘱). The oldest son should get half of the camels. The middle son should get one third of the camels. The youngest son should get one ninth of the camels.

The sons couldn’t divide the camels. So, they asked a wise man for help. He added (加) his own camel to make 18. Then he divided them: The oldest son got 9 camels;The middle son got 6 camels;The youngest son got 2 camels.

Together, they had 17 camels. The wise man took back his camel. Each son got their fair share and was happy.
