    Just before giving a wasteful party at his yard, the rich businessman had his swimming pool filled with

poisonous snakes. He called the guests together and announced, "To anyone brave enough to swim across this

pool, I'll give the choice of thousands of square meters of my oil fields, 10000 cows or my daughter's hand in

marriage." 

    As soon as his words were finished, a young man jumped in, swam across the pool and climbed out to safety

but breathlessly. "Congratulations!" the rich man said excitedly. "Do you want my oil fields?"
