The king promised the old man, “You can have any prize if you win the game.” The old man said, “If I win the game, I’d like one grain of rice for the first square of the chessboard, two for the second, four for the third, and then double the amount for each of the rest of the squares.” Part III While-Reading “Is that all?” asked the king. “Wouldn’t you like gold or silver instead?” “No, just rice,” replied the old man.

He put one grain on the first square, two on the second, and so on.
