Once a man sold his well to a farmer. Next day when a farmer went to draw the water from that well, the man did not allow him to draw the water from it. He said, “I have sold you the well, not the water, so you cannot draw the water from the well.” The farmer became very sad and came to the Emperor’s court. He described everything to the Emperor and asked for the justice. The Emperor called Birbal and handed over this case to him. Birbal called the man who sold the well to the farmer. Birbal asked, “Why don’t you let him use the water of the well. You have sold the well to the farmer.” The man replied, “Birbal, I have sold the well to the farmer, not the water. He has no right to draw the water from the well.” Then Birbal smiled and said to him, “Good, but look, since you have sold the well to this farmer, and you claim that water is yours, then you have no right to keep your water in the farmer’s well. Either you pay rent to the farmer to keep your water in his well, or you take that out of his well immediately.” The man understood, that his trick has failed. Birbal has outwitted him. 2. Why didn’t the man let the farmer use the water from the well? O Because the man needed the water for himself O Because there was no water in the well O Because the man obeyed what the emperor said O Because the man thought that he had sold the well but the water was not involved

Hallo Dody, kakak bantu jawab ya.Jawabanya adalah “Because the man thought that he had sold the well but the water was not involved”.Soal di atas menanyakan kenapa laki-laki tersebut tidak membiarkan petani menggunakan air yang ada didalam sumur. Sebagaimana dituliskan pada teks “The man did not allow him to draw the water from it. He said, “I have sold you the well, not the water, so you cannot draw the water from the well”.Dapat diartikan dari kutipan ini adalah laki-laki tersebut tidak mengizinkan petani mengambil air di sumur karena laki-laki itu hanya menjual sumurnya tapi tidak dengan airnya. Jadi, jawaban yang tepat adalah “Because the man thought that he had sold the well but the water was not involved”.Semoga bermanfaat yaaa.
