Аesop, a Greek philosopher, was famous for his jokes. One day Aesop was out for a walk when he saw a man. The man was lost. The man greeted Aesop and asked him, how long would it take him to get to the town. Aesop asked him to go. The traveller did not understand the reply. He said he knew that he had to go and repeated his question, but Aesop is reply was same. He said him to go. The traveller went away. He decided that the man was mad. After the traveller had gone some distance, Aesop shouted after him he would get to the town in two hours. The traveller came back to Aesop and asked why he hadn't tell him that before. Aesop replied that he hadn't told him because he hadn't known how fast heyou could walk.
