A pond full of milk
Once there was a king who told some of his
workers to dig a pond. Once the pond was dug, the king made an
announcement to his people saying that one person from each household
has to bring a glass of milk during the night and pour it into the pond.
So, the pond should be full of milk by the morning. After receiving the
order, everyone went home. One man prepared to take the milk during the
night. He thought that since everyone will bring milk, he could just
hide a glass of water and pour inside the pond. Because it will be dark
at night, no one will notice. So he quickly went and poured the water in
the pond and came back. In the morning, the king came to visit the pond
and to his surprise the pond was only filled with water! What has
happened is that everyone was thinking like the other man that "I don't
have to put the milk, someone else will do it."
