“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(瘋的),” the traveler thought and went on.
After the traveler had gone some distance(一段距離), Aesop shouted after him, “You’ll get to town in two hours.”
