In the old days, people usually travelled by horse when they wanted to go a long way. A man named Ming lived in the country. One day, his mother said to him, ^"Your uncle is very ill and he needs this medicine. You must take it to him quickly. Your uncle lives in the town. It's a long way from our house. It will take you two days to get there on a horse."

    Ming thought for a minute and said to himself, ^"One horse ...two days. I know what I can do." The he said to his mother "Don't worry, Mum. I'm clever. I think I can get there in one day." Ming ran to the market and bought two horses for his journey.
