Aesop and the Traveller
Aesop was a very clever man who lived hundreds of years ago in Greece. He wrote many fine stories. He was well-known as a man who was fond of jokes. One day, as he was enjoying a walk, he met a traveller, who greeted him and said, “Kind man, can you tell me how soon I shall get to town?” “Go,” Aesop answered. “I know I must go,” protested the traveller, “but I should like you to tell me how soon I shall get to town.”
“Go,” Aesop said again angrily.
“This man must be mad”, the traveller thought and went on.
After he had gone some distance, Aesop shouted after him. “You will get to town in two hours.” The traveller turned round in surprise. “Why didn’t you tell me that before?” he asked.
