1. King Kaid spent too much time playing dice and neglected his duties.
2. He lost land to his courtiers each time he lost a game.

4. He asked for grains of rice doubling on each square of the chessboard.
5. The king agreed, thinking it was a modest request, But when calculated, the total number of grains becomes unimaginably large.
