One year, with the help of the Animal Protecting Society, he caught ten antelopes on each side and exchanged them. A year later, the ten antelopes sent to the west bank multiplied by fourteen while only three of the ones sent to the east remained. Where are the other seven? They had been eaten by wolves!
