He could have learned the truth bv

man. well known banker. who had
received the news and requested him
TO reveal the name OF the firm TO him.
That's very delicate thing to do
replied the banker. FOR the news Is
not Official and If l gave you the name
might incur some responsibility"
The merchant argued. but in vain.
and finally he made this proposition:
Il will give you" he said. "A list OF
ten firms in Yokohama. and ! Will asl,
you TO look through il and then 10 tell
me. without mentioning any name
whether or not the name Of the firm
which has failed appears in IT, Surel,
you will DO that for meY"
Yes" said the banker, "for il / do
not mention any name / cannot be held
responsible In any way"
The list was made. The banker
Hooked through it and as he handed it
back to the merchant said. THE name
or the firm which has failed is there"
Then I've lost heavily" replied the
merchant, for that is the firm with
which did business" showing him a
name on the list.
But how do you know that is the
firm which has failedf" asked the
banker in surprise
very easily" replied the merchant
"Of the ten names on the list only one
is genuine. that Of the firm with which
