Once there lived a man called Abu Ali. One day Abu Ali went to the fair, and bought nine donkeys. He rode home on one of them and the rest of the donkeys followed behind.
After a while Abu Ali said to himself, "I must see that all my donkeys are here." And he turned round to count them. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Oh! where's number nine? Abu Ali cried.
He jumped down from his donkey. He looked behind the rocks and the trees. But there was no donkey to be seen. "I'll count them again," Abu Ali said. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Oh, he must have come back."
So Abu Ali climbed back on the donkey and trotted away. After a while he counted his donkeys again. He counted only eight! Once more he looks behind the rocks and the trees. But there was no donkey to be seen. "I will count again," he said, and this time they were again nine.
Just then Abu Ali saw his friend Musa walking alone on the road. "Musa," he called. "Help me to count my donkeys. I keep losing one. When I stop to count I have only eight donkeys, but when I get down to look for the ninth, there he is again! "Actually, there are ten donkeys," said Musa.
"Ten! How can you see ten? asked Abu Ali.
"I can see the donkey you are sitting on and I see eight donkeys behind you," said Musa.
"Of course,!" cried Abu Ali. "How silly of me! But where is the tenth donkey?" "He is sitting on the top of the ninth donkey," said Musa. "And his name is Abu Ali.
