If the daughter chose the white pebble, the debt would be also wiped, but the daughter would not have to marry the loan-shark.

The latter being the desirable outcome for both daughter and businessman.

As the loan-shark picked up the two pebbles, the daughter noticed that he had picked up two black stones, in an attempt to guarantee his plan.

The daughter then had three choices:

1) Refuse altogether to pick any pebble from the bag.

2)Expose the two black pebbles and loan-shark for cheating.

3)Pick a pebble, which would determine her horrid fate.
