“ 52 !” said the king in surprise.
Sessa answered, “I want few. Since you 53 my chessboard so much, give me a grain of wheat on the first square, two grains on the second square, 54 grains for the third one, and so on. For each square double, I will be the 55 man in the world.”
The king told his treasurer（财务大臣）, “If the wheat is all he 56 , give it to him!”

The treasurer and his court stopped 59 . By the end of the month, wagons（马车）filled with grain were driving to Sessa’s house and the treasurer began to look 60 .

There was nothing for the king to do but call Sessa, and take back what he 63 . Sessa was happy with what he had already got—he did not ask the king for the second half of the 64 .
