>>On his deathbed, an Arabian prince calls his two sons two him & tells them that he wants them to race their camels to a distant city, the only catch being that it will be the son with the slowest camel that gets the entire inheritance. After many days of slow travel, they decide to ask a wise man for advice, after talking to the wise man they went out, jumped on the camels & raced as fast as they could to the distant city. What advice was given to them ?
