A Schoolmaster and a Poet in a Quixotic Lesson
A Melbourne study scene follows Mr Ghurchi and his wife as they quarrel over a book of ancient mathematics. The tale centers on Lilawat of Haschara Acharya and a paradoxical collection of geometric and bee riddles. The wife outwits the teacher with the final answer, exposing pride and the limits of calculation.
