Where is the milk?

There was a small village in a northern Himalaya. Every individual in the village where very intelligent and social. But they had one great problem to solve. They had scarcity of milk in the village. There were not enough cows and the problem was that not every individual could feed their children.

They decided to arrange a meeting to further discuss this matter. Thousands of villagers gathered in one common friendly place. Five of the elites were selected to make final decision; they all sat under a tree and started to discuss.

“Today, we are going to discuss about our problem, which is:

How can we solve the problem of collecting enough milk so that everyone can feed their children’s,” said one of the elite member.

“You can form a group of hundred and start the discussion, and one team member can report us your suggestion,” said another elite member.

They all started to discuss the problem. Finally, they came up with one final solution. A member from the elite group has to make final decision so he said,

“Okay, it seems that we have come up with common great idea.

The idea is that everybody will help in digging a pond and put amount of milk they have in their home.

There is no suitable solution than this one, so let us implement this idea by tonight,

Just remember that everybody has to put milk in a pond.

Therefore, tomorrow morning, we will share the milk from the pond. Now the meeting is closed and everybody should go back home and collect the milk they have and put the milk by mid-night.”

All the villagers went back to their home and started to re-think on the idea. 

One villager thought, “What if I put water instead of the milk, nobody will find any difference. Besides, I will save my own share of the milk.”

Next morning, all the villagers gathered in a pond they were all expecting to collect the milk. They were all spellbound and socked; they were gazing at each other,

One villager said, “I see only the water in a pond, where is the milk?”
