The King's Chessboard
Geometric progressions are explored in this resource as a vain king insists that a wise man accept a reward for his service. The man reluctantly requests a daily payment of rice that is to be doubled for each square of the chessboard. The unwitting monarch grants the request and subsequently drains the royal granaries of its rice supply. The watercolour illustrations amplify the king's anguish as he realizes the folly of his decision and his eventual concession that pride can make a fool of oneself. This resource parallels the mathematical premise of Demi's One Grain of Rice: A Mathematical Folktale and McKibbon's The Token Gift.
