Unlocking the Cryptic Clue: The Surprising Solution to ‘Benefit’

Once upon a time, there was a small village where everyone helped each other out. They had a strong sense of community and always worked together to solve any problem. One day, they heard that a neighboring village was in trouble; they needed help to repair their dam to prevent a flood.

The villagers quickly gathered to discuss how they could help. They decided that they would each donate some money to the neighboring village. However, they needed to make sure that each person contributed equally.

To determine how much each person should donate, they came up with a crossword puzzle. They labeled the crossword puzzle “Benefit” because they knew that their donation would help their neighbors in a significant way.

The villagers worked on the crossword puzzle together, and after they had solved it, they found that the answer to the clue “Benefit” was “SAKE.” They were puzzled at first, but then they realized that the reason they were donating to their neighbors was not only to help them but also for their own sake. By preventing the flood, the neighboring village would remain intact, and it would prevent any damage from spreading to their village.

The villagers felt proud of themselves for working together and supporting each other. They knew that because they had helped their neighbors, everyone would benefit in the end. From that day on, the village remained united, and they continued to help each other out whenever they could.
