The Tangled Feet Problem

On a hot day, a group of children were sitting by a pond. They wanted

to have some fun. They took off their shoes and put their feet in the
pond. They splashed around a little. After a while, they got bored. Just
then an old man walked by. One of the children said. “Let’s have some
fun with him!” They all laughed and planned to play a trick on him. The
children called to the man, “Please come here. We have a big
problem!” The old man walked over to the children. He looked worried
and wanted to help the children. “What is it?” he asked. “Our feet are
tangled. We cannot tell whose feet belong to whom!” The children
giggled and winked at each other. The old man was wise but also kind.
He understood the children were not serious. He did not get angry or
scold the children. Instead, he played along. He said. “That sounds like a
serious problem, but I think I can help.” The old man found a long stick
and came back to the pond and tickled the children’s feet with it. Each
child whose feet he tickled would start laughing loudly. The child would
laugh so hard that he would roll out of the water. One after another,
the children and their feet rolled out of the pond. “There, I have solved
your problem!” said the wise man.
