අඥාන ගණනය / අනුවණ ගිණීම - Foolish Counting.
[මෙම පාඩම පසුව සිංහලට පරිවර්තනය කර, පළ කරනු ඇත!]
{This Lesson would be translated into Sinhalese & published later!}
Twelve men are returning from fishing. One hopes none of them have been drowned. They each count (counts) and each forgets (forgets) to count himself. All very sad that one is missing. Passing horseman offers to find the lost one and they promise him all their money if he can. He counts twelve. They bless him.
