Would you help me with a riddle, it´s a homework ?

Question

Ok the riddle goes like this:

A wealthy Egyptian man decided to call his twin sons because he was really sick. The man was close to his death so he told his sons he was not going to split the inheritance. He was planning to give the money only to one of them.

The father did not want to choose who that son will be so he told them that:

The one who would get the inheritance would be the one how went from Egypt to La Meca with all his belongins and riding a camel.

The one who gets the inheritance is the one who arrives second to la Meca. After their dad died they went together to La Meca. On the road they found a man who asked them what were they doing going from Egypt to La Meca. They explained the reason. After this the man whispered something to the twins that made them pack their belongings and go to La Meca as fast as they could.

The question is, what did the man told them that made them go running to La Meca, if the one who arrives seconds wins the inheritance???

Answer 1

they switched camels

Answer 2

"switch camels" that's what the man says to them because if they switch then they have each others camels then, that's why they start going as fast as they can because whoever gets there first, their camel will get there second. but this riddle is missing something because there's another riddle like this and it goes like this instead:

There is this really rich man and he has two sons. One day he dies and in his will it says "My dear sons, I am only going to give one of you my entire fortune, and you will have to race for it. Whose ever horse finishes last, wins."

The next day the two brothers set off as slow as they possibly can. In the first day they don't even make a mile, and at the end of the day they decided to stop at an inn to rest. The two brothers told the inn keeper about their race. The inn keeper told them only two words. The next day the two brothers set off as fast as they could go. What were the two words that the inn keeper told them to make them race so fast?

answer: switch horses. In the will it said "whose ever HORSE finishes last" wins. If the two brothers switched horses, they would want their horse to lose, as a result they would race fast.

so these are like the same so i say the answers would be about the same

so the answer is SWITCH CAMELS

hope you get it right because i dont want to be the reason you missed a question on your homework:]
