A rich man has two sons who don't get along... so when he reaches his dying age, he puts all his wealth in a far location. Just before dying, he calls both sons & summons them to a horse race from home to that location (the two sons have to ride the horses). But here’s the catch: he says “you can claim the full wealth only if your horse loses this race”. The two sons are totally confused as to why he would say something like that; but still they get up on their horses and try to see if the other is moving slower than him – eventually, they end up just standing there, because neither of them wants to be the first to reach the destination. They stand and stand for days, until a friend of their father happens to walk by and see this, and he asks them why they are just sitting on their horses like this... then he thinks & comes up a bright idea, which he whispers to each one... at which they excited & start racing towards the destination...
What was the friend’s bright idea?

They switch horses and race to the destination on each other's horse. That way whoever gets there first wins the wealth because there horse actually lost.
I am mad, I thought I was going to answer this queston first (lol) I guess I am slow
Awh, but the true wealth the rich man wanted was for his two sons to get along (the wealth of having a relationship with each other), therefore, for them to come up with the idea of swithching the horses they had to work together.
You know what I don't think their daddy is dead after all, he sent his friend there to tell them that just because he got tired of his sons fighting all the time over "who daddy loves the most". So the daddy sent his sneaky behind friend to do his dirty work. When he should have just kicked their little behinds when they were kids and told them that they were going to love each other and get along.
sniffle, sniffle, tear (I think I am going to call my sister -I hate her!)

Both sons has to exchange their horses and continued the race to reach the destination at first. because if they reach the the destination first with the other ones horse means their own horse will lose the race. then the properties will go to them...

The friend of the father will follow them and he will claim the wealth as he will get there last.

For them to be the first one to the airport on their horses.
"not sure"
As long as whoever is the 1st one there doesn't have their horse.
