Question

Once upon a time in Greece (希腊) there lived a clever man. His name was Aesop.

One day, when Aesop was taking a walk in the country, a man on the road stopped him. He said, "Kind sir, can you tell me how soon I can get to town?" "Go," Aesop answered.

"Of course I know I must go," said the man," But I want to know how soon I can get to town." "Go," Aesop shouted to him again.
