There was once a king. As he was getting older, he wished to give his throne to either of his sons. To choose the new king he posed a challenge.
He gave in possession, two brand new horses to his sons and asked them to bring the horses to a place, which was 100 miles away from the country. Whoever reaches the place at last (i.e. the one who comes the slowest) was to be made the new king.
The two sons were shocked at this strange request and wondered, how long it would take to finish the race. Both of them consulted a sage. After a few seconds, both the sons were riding the horses at their top speed and towards their goal! What do you think might be the reason?
