6) A long, long time ago, two cowboys where fighting to marry the duaghter of the OK Corral rancher. The rancher, who liked neither of these two men to become his future son-in-law, came up with a clever plan. A horse race would determine who would be allowed his daughter's hand. Both cowboys had to travel from Kansas City to the OK Corral, and the one whose horse arrived LAST would be proclaimed the winner.
The two cowboys, realizing that this could become a very lengthy expedition, finally decided to consult the Wise Mountain Man. They explained to him the situation, upon which the Wise Mountain Man raised his cane and spoke four wise words. Relieved, the two cowboys left his cabin: They were ready for the contest! Which four wise words did the Wise Mountain Man speak?
