There once lived two friends, a horse and an ass. they lived together and worked together in their animal kingdom for quite a long time. They each had their different talents though they shared a common one; they both could run and fast. One day, they had an argument on who could run faster than the other. the argument got so bad that it almost threatened to ruin their friendship. They decided to seek the opinions of the other animals in the kingdom. Since it was difficult to establish who culd run faster than the other from their argument, a day was set that they could race and the winner established. The two animals prepared for the race in anticipation for the big day!
Finally the day of the competition! all the animals gathered at their usual ground to witness the race, including the two friends. They went to the starting line and as the loudspeaker started "on your marks, get set....." all the animals in the field went wild each cheering for their favourite one. "Bang," off went the lound sound of the gun to start off the race. The ass was terrified by the "bang" sound and instead of running to the finish line, he cut across the field in the opposite direction running towards the other animals, jumped across the fence and by the time he stopped, he was miles past the racing field. On the other hand, the horse ran straight to the finish line and because he had no competitor and he finished first, he was declared the winner!!! now trouble started again, those who supported the ass said that despite the fact that ass ran in the opposite direction, he was the winner coz he ran a longer distance than the horse and he took the same time taken by the horse to the finish line!!! (so he ran faster). The other group that supported the horse said the horse was the winner since he ran to the finish line alone and he arrived first!!!
If u were the judge in this race, who would you choose as the winner of the day???!
