Aesop and the traveller
Aesop, a Greek philosopher, was famous for his
jokes. One day Aesop was out for a walk when he
saw a man. The man was lost. The man greeted
Aesop and asked him, "How long will it take me to
get to the town?" "Go," said Aesop. The traveler
didn't understand the reply. "I know that I have to
go," he said and repeated his question, but Aesop's
reply was the same. "Go," he said again very politely.
The traveller went away. "The man is mad," he
decided. After the traveller had gone some
distance, Aesop shouted after him, "You'll get to the
town in two hours."
The traveller came back to Aesop and asked: "Why
didn't you tell me that before?" "I didn't tell you
because I didn't know how fast you could walk,"
Aesop replied. переведите пожалуйста срочно
