Show "Parcel, How Many?" - Henry was asked. "How many boys are in your class?" He said: "If you multiply the number of Jacob's sons by the number of times the Israelites compassed Jericho, and add to the product the number of measures of barley Boaz gave Ruth, divide this by the number of Haman's sons, subtract the number of each kind of clean beasts that went into the ark, multiply by the number of men that went to seek Elijah after he was taken to heaven; subtract from this Joseph's age at the time he stood before Pharaoh, add the number of stones in David's bag when he killed Goliath, subtract the number of furlongs that Bethany was distant from Jerusalem, divide by the number of persons saved in the ark, and the remainder will be the answer." |
