Days Teaser -- Want More? --Next
Four sparrows found a dish of seed,
Fine birdie food, no common weed.
Said Pip: "In turn each take two grains
And then a third of what remains.
It's me as first, then Pep, then Pop,
With Pap the last. And then we stop.
But Pap cried out: "It isn't fair.
Mine's two seeds less then half Pep's share."
Old Pip was boss, his word was law,
So little Pap got nothing more.
Poor Pap, his share was rather small!
How many seeds were there in all?
