This is an old joke. Except when I was younger, it was told as them needing to stay at a hotel, not a book. :)

Simple. Shopkeeper receives $9 from 3 people ($27). How can he return another $2 to 3 people?
Create the scenario with 30 cards and u will understand. U cannot add $2 to $27. U should minus $2 from the $27.

If the book only cost them $25, how could they each pay $9. Since 9x3 gives you $27.
You can't divide $25 equally by 3. You will get $8.333333ect.
Here is all the money:
$25 went to the owner.
$2 he kept for himself.
$3 were given back as change.
Technically speaking the shopkeeper stole $2.
Cheating bastard!! LMAO
