An Arab sheikh is old and must will his fortune to one of his two sons. He makes a proposition. His two sons will ride their camels in a race, and whichever camel crosses the finish line last will win the fortune for its owner. During the race, the two brothers wander aimlessly for days, neither willing to cross the finish line. In desperation, they ask a wise man for advice. He tells them something; then the brothers leap onto the camels and charge toward the finish line. What did the wise man say?

The rules of the race were that the owner of the camel that crosses the finish line last wins the fortune. The wise man simply told them to switch camels.

The wise man told them to switch camels! That way, if Brother A is riding the camel of Brother B and crosses first, Brother A's own camel will cross last and hence win the fortune. Elementary, my dear Watson!

Switch Camels, Then if they cross the finish line first they win, because their camel finished last.

He told them' Leave your father's wish and wealth'...After the finish line there lies a cute female camel...
Then they lost the control and both the camels flew towards the 'end line' ;)
