TEACHER VOICE

There are-

76 crows

14 parrots and

10 squirrels on a tree.

A hunter with a big gun approaches dangerously close to the tree.

Crows are fighting between them for a piece of bone, so they don’t notice.

Squirrels hide in a tree hole,

Parrots notice the hunter and decide to fly.

How many birds are left on the tree??

It’s simple. Isn’t it?

The Riddle:

Some people are quick to answer:

76 crows are left on the tree. They know squirrels are not birds.

Many people heard this kind of puzzle in before and respond NONE!

When a hunter fires the gun, all birds will fly!

But both of these answers are not correct.

Because the riddle tells us, ‘hunter approaches’ the tree. There is no firing of gun yet.

The correct answer is: 90!

Yes…90. There are 76 crows and 14 parrots on the tree.

I can hear some of you protesting, “But parrots decided to fly!”

That’s where lies the real lesson:

They just DECIDED. They haven’t flown yet.

Deciding something doesn’t make a difference. Until and unless there is an action on that decision, status quo remains.
