Once there lived a very clever man whose name was Aesop (伊索). One day as he was taking a walk, he came across a traveler. The traveler stopped him and asked, “Excuse me,, can you tell me how
soon I’ll get to town?”
“Go.” Aesop answered.
“I know I must go.” said the traveler, “but I want to know how soon I’ll get to town.”
“Go!~ ”Aesop said again angrily.
“This man must be mad(疯的),” the traveler thought and went on.
After the traveler had gone some distance(一段距离), Aesop shouted after him, “You’ll get to town in two hours.”
The traveler was greatly surprised. He turned back and asked, “Why didn’t you tell me that before?”
“How could I tell you that before?” Aesop answered, “I didn’t know how fast you could walk.”
