Meeku exclaimed, "Hey, there are notes in this envelope!" Cheeku picked up the envelope and said, "Oh yes! It has hundred-rupee notes in it." He began counting the money.
Meeku and Jumpy observed. Jumpy asked, "How much money is there?"
Cheeku answered, "One thousand and hundred and fifty rupees. That is a lot of money," he said. Cheeku looked around, but there was no one in sight. "Looks like it fell out of someone's pocket," Jumpy remarked.
Meeku suggested, "Since we found the envelope, the money is now ours. Let's divide it among ourselves."
Cheeku remained silent and glanced around, hoping to find the owner. But he could see no one.
Meeku said, "Who are you looking for?
The money is ours now. Let's split it among ourselves.
" Jumpy added, "But how will we divide it equally among the three of us?"
"It's simple," Meeku replied.
"We divide ₹1150 by three."
He took out a pen and started dividing the amount on the envelope, writing ₹1150' on it.
