A long, long time ago, two Egyptian camel drivers were fighting for the hand of the daughter of the sheik of Abudabbu. The sheik, who liked neither of these men, came up with a clever plan: a race would determine who of the two men would be allowed to marry his daughter. And so the sheik organized a camel race. Both camel drivers had to travel from Cairo to Abudabbu, and the one whose camel would arrive last in Abudabbu, would be allowed to marry the sheik's daughter. The two camel drivers, realizing that this could become a rather lengthy expedition, finally decided to consult the Wise Man of their village. They explained to him the situation, upon which the Wise Man spoke afew wise words. Relieved, the two camel drivers left the tent: they were ready for the contest! What wise words did the Wise Man speak?
