NG TO MAKE A.GOOD IMPRESSION, HE TOOK AL
ONG HIS.SIXTEEN BEST CARPETS WHICH HE LA
ID.OUT ON THE FLOOR IN FRONT OF THE.EMPE
ROR.  THERE WERE SEVEN IN ONE.ROW, FIVE 
IN ANOTHER, THREE IN YET.ANOTHER, AND TH
E FINAL CARPET WAS BY.ITSELF...    THE E
MPEROR SAID, "I ONLY NEED.ONE CARPET FOR
 MY SERAGLIO ROOM, BUT.HOW CAN I DECIDE?
".    NOW, GUPTA NIM WAS A WILY TRADER.A
ND KNEW THAT THE EMPEROR WAS FOND OF.GAM
ES, SO HE PROPOSED, "O GREAT SHAH,.LET U

NOT ACCEPTABLE, REMOVING.THEM FROM THE D
ISPLAY.  THERE WILL BE.TWO STIPULATIONS:
 WE MAY ONLY REMOVE.CARPETS FROM ONE ROW
 AT A TIME,.ALTHOUGH WE CAN REMOVE AS MA
NY FROM.THAT ROW AS WE WANT.  THE SECOND
.STIPULATION WILL BE THAT IF I REMOVE.TH
E LAST CARPET, YOU MAY HAVE IT AT A.REDU
CED RATE.  HOWEVER, IF YOU, O.MIGHTY POT
ENTATE, ARE FORCED TO.REMOVE THE LAST CA
RPET, YOU SHALL PAY.MY USUAL STEEP PRICE
."..    THE EMPEROR DREW HIS ROBES AROUN
