The Superior Wisdom

Aman was seen running with a horse instead of riding it. He held the rope to which the horse was tied.

Gasping for breath, he stopped in front of an inn to catch his breath. “Young man, what made you run with the horse?” asked the innkeeper.

“Well, it is to reach my destination faster!” answered Aman.

“If that is the case, why don’t you ride the horse?” asked the curious innkeeper.

The young man smiled knowingly but was reluctant to answer. The innkeeper grew even more curious and insisted on getting an answer. Finally, Aman agreed to explain his reasoning. He said, “You see, I was originally going to walk to my destination. But my master advised me to take the horse, saying that four legs are faster than two.”

“That gave me a clue to a greater wisdom. If four legs are faster than two, then six legs will be even faster than four! Do you now understand why I am using the four legs of the horse along with my own two legs?”
