About this listen

In this Indian tale, a wise mathematician named Sessa invents the game of chess to amuse the king and requests a single grain of wheat as his reward for the first square of the chessboard, double that the following day for the second, and so on. In the end, Sessa gets the real reward he wanted all along – a wiser and more mathematical king.
