that he was no longer able to feed his family. Hearing that the king greatly encouraged talent

and was famed for his generosity, the poet set off for the Royal Palace. When brought before

the king, he bowed low and asked that he may recite a poem. On hearing his recitation, the

king, well pleased, asked him to name his reward.

The poet, pointing to a finely wrought chess board before the king said “Your highness, if you

place just one grain of rice on the first square of this chess board, and double it for every

square, I will consider myself well rewarded.” “Are you sure?” asked the king, greatly

surprised. “Just grains of rice, not gold?” “Yes, your highness” affirmed the humble poet.

“So it shall be” ordered the king and his courtiers started placing the grain on the chess board.

One grain on the first square, 2 on the second, 4 on the third, 8 on the fourth and so on.

By the time they came to the 10 square they had to place 512 grains of rice. The number

swelled to 5,24,288 grains on the 20 square. When they came to the half way mark, the 32

square, the grain count was 214,74,83,648 that is over 214 crores! Soon the count increased

to lakhs of crores and eventually the hapless king had to hand over his entire kingdom to the

clever poet. And it all began with just one grain of rice!

Moral of the story : Never underestimate the power of compounding. If you stay

invested long enough, it'll work for you. A small sum invested every month from

the beginning of your work-life can lead to a very impressive amount at the time

of your retirement.
