Aesop and the traveller
Aesop, a Greek philosopher, was famous for his jokes. One day when he was walking he saw a man. The man was lost. The man asked Aesop, "How long will it take me to get to the town?" "Go," said Aesop. The traveler didn't understand the reply, that's why he repeated his question, but Aesop's answer was the same. The traveller went away. "The man is mad," he decided. Some minutes later Aesop shouted after him, "You'll get to the town in two hours."<span>The traveller came back to Aesop and asked: "Why didn't you tell me that before?" "Because I didn't know how fast you walk," Aesop answered.</span>
