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.
