impossible task

The prince remained standing in front of the door of the Sheikh's house until the sun set. Then the Sheikh opened the door of his house saying that it seems that you will not budge from here without obtaining the answer to your question. The Prince answered yes. The answer is before I answer you, the prince was happy for this news and said to him, "Well, I will bring it right now," but unfortunately, the prince's joy did not last long. The Sheikh said to him, I changed the price of the answer. And the prince said to him, "Which of me has all this water?" He said to him, "You can take from the well that is in the desert as much as you want." The Emir replied to him, "This is impossible. Even if I took all the water to dry the well, I cannot water everyone at the same time. From his watering in the beginning.

The Sheikh said this dilemma is for you. If you can solve it, I will answer your question, but until then I have nothing. The prince went on his way while he was thinking of a solution to this dilemma with Luna, which is always unfolding to him. He started wandering around the city thinking about the solution. Think and think But to no avail, he could not reach any solution, then he decided to tighten the torque and transfer the water from the well to the town back and forth no matter how long it took. The young prince walked up to the gates of the city, and he found an old man sitting there, so he asked him how I can reach the well my grandfather He answered him, saying, Do you see that tall mountain at the horizon? Go towards it and you will find the well in a quarter of the way. He said to him: I have a question. Another, since there was no objection, please ask. How long does the journey from here take to the well and then back? A text answered him on the camels, and a full day on foot, he answered him Thank you for your time, before setting out towards the well he stopped and said to Luna you can not come with me, I shook Her head refused to let him go, so he told her that the road is long and hard and I will not take care of you. She looked down, holding her dress and raising her face, expressions of anger hidden the fear of death under these false feelings, the fear of death was not specific, but the fear of death was lonely, that one dies Without anyone knowing it or caring about it is something even thinking about it is intolerable.

Luna did not care about what the prince was saying, but preferred to stick to her decision without thinking about whether he was serious about what he said or not. He said to her as you want, but remember that I have warned you, do not expect me to return to you if you are injured, the prince did not want to say these hurtful words to her, All he wanted was to stay in the town where the place was safe, and gave her a knife to defend herself if an animal attacked her. The prince walked in a way and she followed him with a shadow of ease and looked behind him from time to time until he crossed halfway to the well, when he turned around not behind him He thought that she could not stand the burning sun of the desert, and that she felt tired and returned to the town, but is this really what happened? .

The prince continued the secret until he reached the well, the land where the well was dug was different from what was around it, it was covered with grass and trees that have leafy because it has its roots until it reached the water of the well, the Prince filled the bucket with water and rested a little, at sunset he set off back towards the town , But what was not taken into account was the difficulty of traveling with the water bucket, he needed to stop several times to rest a little, which made him take a longer time than he had in mind to reach the town.
