A coconut vendor goes to a farm to collect coconuts. He gathers a massive number of coconuts in a basket. He mounts the basket on the horse and continues his journey back home. He sees a young boy nearby. He asks him how long it would take him to reach the city. The boy replies that if he goes slowly, he'll reach faster and if he speeds up, he'll reach slowly. The coconut vendor doesn't understand the logic behind the boy's statement. He continues his journey home and makes his horse run faster. Every time he makes his horse run faster, the coconuts fall off the basket, and he stops his journey to collect them. He reaches home late at night, quite later than he had expected. He then realises what the boy had meant. Lesson to be learned: A simple tale about honesty and kindness
