hello,
I am posting here a puzzle which was told to me by my friend. Its quiet intresting.
An Arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two 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? thank u shahid. __________________

Just a guess
The man had bad debit
Following is the asnwer to the qs. . .
The wise man took a look at their mounts and said: "Those aren't camels, you nudniks-- they're horses! Your old man set you up again. Now, if you're smart you'll get to the city as fast as you can, and by the time your father gets there you can say, 'Papa, neither camel was slower than the other, so we traded them both for these nifty horses. Some deal, hey, Pa?' and the old sheik your father will be so amused with his clever offspring that he will divide the fortune equally."
And so the brothers set off with great speed and light hearts, and did exactly what the wise man had recommended. As it came to pass the old sheik arrived in the city the following day. When heard the tale, proudly told to him by the brothers, he was so astounded at their unexpected cleverness that he suffered an apoplectic stroke and died on the spot. Lo! At the reading of the will it turned out that the wealthy sheik had indeed divided his fortune equally. Half went to build a new mosque in his honor and half went to build a home for superannuated dancing girls.
The brothers sold their horses and emigrated to the USA, where they started an unsuccessful line of falafel pushcarts in the Bronx. When the old wise man in the desert heard the story he laughed so hard that he suffered an aneurism, fell into the campfire and was burned to ashes.
Moral I: A clever man will not bet all his money on a camel in a horse race.
Moral II: Anyone who expects simple answers to complex social questions from some old recluse who lives alone in the desert deserves exactly what he gets.
I think wise man must told that to exchange their camel............... so that the camel that win, its owner losses thefortune so both brother charge to the finish line as fast as poss.............................
