A wise judge story

 Once there lived a rich man and a golden necklace was lost from a rich man’s house. A few servants worked in that house. Naturally it was suspected that any one of the servants had stolen the golden necklace. Each of them was asked. But nobody confessed the guilt. So, the matter of the house lodged a complaint before the Judge. All of the servants were summoned to the court. But all of the servants denied the charge of stolen necklace. Then the Judge hit upon a plan. The judge gave each of them a stick of same length and told the servants to submit them to the court the following day. The judge told them that the person who had stolen the necklace, his stick would increase an inch. When the servants returned home, the servants kept their sticks as they were. But the servant who stole the stick shortened it by an inch. They next day when everybody submitted the sticks, it was found that one stick was short by an inch. Then the thief was detected and the thief was given punishment.
