Question
The donkey asked- 500 milliliters of kheer? Isn’t that more than a liter?

Solution
No, 500 millilitres is not more than a litre, rather it is less than one litre. It is half a litre.
The fox said- Come on, don’t behave like a donkey! One litre is 1000 millilitres, so 500 millilitres is half a litre.
