The Emperor's Missing Ring
The Emperor's greatest treasure, a diamond ring, goes missing from his secret vault. The nine attendants who have access to the vault claim it isn't there. The Emperor's favorite advisor, Beer Ball, devises a plan using nine identical sticks. Each attendant is given a stick, and Beer Ball tells them that if they are dishonest, their stick will grow two inches overnight. The next day, one attendant's stick is two inches shorter. The guilty attendant had cut her stick so that it wouldn't grow longer. The thief is found, and the Emperor realizes that his greatest treasure is his wise advisor, Beer Ball.
