Great mathematicians were writing in stone tables mathematical calculations, trying to find another form of calculation; then, they invited other mathematicians.
But they could not find the solution and after many days and night thinking, nothing could be found.
The calculations were increasing to such extent that there were no more stone tables left.
Finally, the oldest man came, he came riding a donkey and when he saw the stone tables, said:
" We will never be able to find the solution."
And he felt such a surprise that he turned backwards, stepping on the donkey's leg who reacted kicking and broke the stone table. that fell to the floor and broke.
While the old mathematician shouted: " All broke into pieces. Nothing was left. The donkey found the solution." And that day, the zero was invented.
