一位阿拉伯長老因年事已高到需要決定如何分配身後財產了, 他要他的兩個兒子各自騎上自己的駱駝來場比賽, 比較晚抵達終點線的那隻駱駝就能為牠的主人贏得長老的財產.

比賽過程中兩個兒子為了不想先達終點毫無目標到處遊蕩, 這樣持續了好幾天. 兩個人覺得無耐又絕望, 不曉得要怎麼辦才能贏這場比賽. 於是他們去找了一位智者, 尋求解惑. 智者講了一些話後, 兩個人迅速騎上駱駝朝著終點揚長而去.

請問, 智者說了什麼?

===========================================

An Arab sheik is old and must leave his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition: Both sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line LAST will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?

Answer: The rules of the race were that the owner of the camel that crosses the finish line last wins the fortune. The wise man simply told them to switch camels. 

======================================

智者只簡潔告訴兩個人換騎對方的駱駝.

註: 這場比賽的規則是晚達終點的駱駝的主人可以得到長老的遺產.
