The wise men of Gotham believed that they were supremely intelligent. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Once, they were perturbed by rumours that there land would be attacked. They wanted to prevent their precious possessions falling into the hands of enemies.
The men decide that the most precious thing in the village is the church bell and that it should be hidden. It took 12 grown men to get the bell down from the Church steeple .
Where shall we hide it said one of them.
The man scratched their head as they think hard, finally the one said lets sink it in the middle of lake. The man agreed heartily and dragged the bell into a boat. They rowed the boat to middle of the lake and with great effort tossed with the bell. As they watched it drop out sight into the the inky waters another thought crossed their mind how would they found the bell after enemy left.
The cleverest of them all volunteered them and said that’s easy we will mark the place with a cut.
He took out a pocket knife and cut a deep gash cut on the side of the boat from where the bell had been dropped.
See we dropped the bell overboard right here he said with satisfaction.
