think that the
man meant to
give 9horses
for the eldest,
6 for 2nd and 2
for the third.
Maybe he had
had 18 horses
at first and
then one he
kept it as his
remembrance for
all his 3
children to
look after.

@hi, answer
is :
The wise man
brought with
him another
horses, which
he added to
those in the
stable, making
a new sum of
eighteen
horses.
In accordance
with the Arab's
will, he then
gave the eldest
son half of
them (9
horses), the
middle son a
third (6
horses) and the
youngest son
one ninth (2
horses). This
made a sum
total of
seventeen
horses, which
meant that one
horse was left
over for the
wise man to
take back home.
