A few days after being brought to the king, Mamad was summoned before the king again. The king was halfway on his horse and said that he was going hunting. He told Mamad, "Go to my summer palace and tell the queen I will be with her for lunch. Tell her to prepare a feast. You will have lunch with me."

Mamad did as he was told, however he phrased the instructions so that the intent was that the events may or may not occur. The queen wanted a definite answer, but Mamad said that he could not be sure what the king was going to do.

After the king came back a day later, he found out that Mamad had not lied. Through this the king realized a valuable lesson. Mamad only talked about what he had seen with his own eyes.

       The end of the story is that the tortoise is named the winner. The moral is that sometimes brains are better than speed.
