Grains of rice
At the beginning of the story, we are introduced to the raja as someone who believed he "was wise
and fair, as a raja should be." Yet he requires villagers in his province to turn over almost all their
rice for safe storage, leaving them only enough to get by. When a year of drought arrives, famine
and hunger ensue. The villagers beg the raja to release some of the rice from the royal store but he
refuses. As his people become more and more famished, the raja decides to have a feast for him
and his court. As a parade of elephants returns from the royal storehouses loaded down with sacks
of rice, Rani, a clever village girl, walks behind them, collecting falling rice in her skirt. She is
caught by the royal guards, but when they accuse her of stealing she tells them she is collecting the
rice to return to the raja. The raja, striving to be wise and fair, decides to reward her for returning
his rice. He tells Rani: "Ask me for anything and you shall have it."
To the raja's great surprise, Rani asks for just one grain of rice. When the raja says that is not
enough of a reward, she acquiesces and asks that he give her one grain of rice on the first day.
Then each day, for the following thirty days, he is to give her double the rice he gave her the day
before. The raja considers this to be a modest request and readily agrees.
Would Rani receive more rice by getting what she asked or by asking for a million grains?
