You tell the story of a Bedouin family (a father and three sons) traveling through the desert with a herd of camels. When the father dies, the sons try to divide the herd among themselves according to their late father's wishes, but it turns out to be impossible. A randomly encountered, lost rider offers them his camel, which, when added to the herd, makes it possible to divide it among the sons. Surprisingly, this camel remains as a "surplus" after the division, and the benefactor can continue his journey on it.
The story lasts about 4 minutes. During the narration, there is a logical inconsistency that the audience does not notice. This psychological trick creates a surprising mathematical paradox on which the entire story is based.
