A landlord is threatening to evict a father and his young daughter,
unless she agrees to marry him. In a false gesture of sincerity, he offers her
an opportunity for them both to remain in the house, without marrying
him. He has a silk bag in which he says he has placed a white and a black
stone from the footpath on which they're standing. If she picks the white
stone from the bag, without looking, she wins; if she picks the black stone, she
loses. However, the young girl saw him place two black stones in the bag. She
can't expose him in front of witnesses without angering him and making
things worse. How does the girl win?
