An old man and an experienced lawyer sit next to each other on a plane. The lawyer asks the old man to play a game. If the lawyer asked a question that the old man didn’t know the answer to, he would have to pay him Rs5; And every time the old man asked the lawyer a question that he didn’t know the answer to, the lawyer had to pay the old man Rs50.

The old man then asks him, ‘What goes up a hill with four legs and down a hill with three?’ The lawyer thinks about it, but finally gives up and pays the old man Rs50.
Then the lawyer asked the old man what the answer was and without a word the old man gave the lawyer Rs5.
