A powerful man has two sons and he needs to decide who gets his power when he resigns. He sets up a competition where they must race across the Sahara Desert on camels.
The catch is that the son's camel to get there LAST wins. The sons are doubtful because they know the race will never end and they will probably die.
The first few days they lead their camels slowly and are weak from the heat and thirst. They then approach an old man and ask his advice about their situation. He tells them what to do and they hop back up on their horses and race off as fast as they can towards the finish line.
What did the old man tell them to do? Feel free to guess by commenting even if you don't know me well. I will post the answer soon. Thanks!

ummm, did he tell them to go to the finish line but not cross it yet?
ReplyDeletenope keep thinking!
ReplyDeleteThe man told them to switch camels. That way they could travel as fast as they could and their camel would win if they got there first. Get it?
