Trick

10 Rs. if you won.And how much if I loss,I enquire from the little boy who was waiting for his first opponent of the evening.Smiling,I turned back to his stall and suddenly I got covered by the little children who left their work and came to see their friend winning.I was still smiling to see them around me.A pot filled with sand had 8 pencils dipped inside.Only one pencil was sharpened and remain all were still in natural state.I started talking to them so I can get a clue from them but they have studied this game well,not ready to give me any chance ,when finally I got a break throw from one of them who told me which one is the right one .I played with their mind and watching their emotions when I got close to the right pencil.These two pencils look similar it shouldn't be this one and I took out the right one.Silence in the crowed,I laughed loud,without taking my winning money,I went pass them.They were bit upset after this bad start.The evening was good and in a happy mood I call to run home when I pass the same stall again.I was called by the children again and without wasting time I took out the pencil.Shocked,staring at that pencil which was by the way not the right one.Laughing paradise of those kids made my evening more remember able.without any word I took out 10Rs. and that boy took it as a world cup trophy.Loud cheer from the crowed.The little rascals won and I was walking fast ,the trick had worked.
