When a greedy raja hoards rice, leaving his people to starve, a clever village girl devises an ingenious plan to reclaim what's rightfully theirs. She asks for a single grain of rice, but with a twist: it doubles each day for a month. This simple request unleashes the astonishing power of exponential growth, teaching the raja a vital lesson about fairness and wisdom. Demi's stunning illustrations, reminiscent of Indian miniatures, bring this captivating mathematical folktale to life.
