The daughter, thinking outside of the box, drew out a pebble and decided to drop the stones “accidentally” on the ground into the midst of the other pebbles.
She then told the loan-shark that it didn’t matter, as they would all be able to decipher which pebble she picked, by looking at the pebbled left in the other bag.
The loan-shark did not want to be exposed and played along with the fact that the daughter had picked a white pebble.
The debt was wiped, and the daughter didn’t have to marry the loan-shark.
