Once upon a time, there lived a very cruel(残忍的) king. This king ruled his country with an iron(铁的) hand. It was a real iron hand. Because he lost one hand in a war, the doctor fit him with an iron hand. Every year, on his birthday, he would set a cruel challenge(挑战) to his people. No one would refuse(拒绝), because to do so meant many years in prison(监狱)—or worse…
As the king's birthday was coming, everyone started getting scared. Luckily, most people had nothing to worry about. But Ali and Baboo had a lot to worry about because they had to do the challenge this year. “The winner of the race is the person whose camel(骆驼) comes last!” the king told them. “The loser will get five years in prison.”
When they were ready, they were given the signal to set off. They did so, but very slowly. Neither of them wanted to get ahead of the other. They didn't know what to do. They knew they had to finish the race or else they would be in trouble.
A wise woman named Shiraz came to the men and whispered in each man's ear. They raced towards the finish line as quickly as they could. One man asked Shiraz what she told the camel riders. She said, “I just told each of them to get on the other man's camel. After all, the winner is the person whose camel comes last.”
