Interesting riddle!

An Arab sheikh tells his two sons to race their camels to a distant city to see who will inherit his fortune. The one whose camel is slower will win. The brothers, after wandering aimlessly for days, ask a wise man for advice. After hearing the advice they jump on the camels and race as fast as they can to the city.What does the wise man say?

Howdy, Anjali!
I think the wise man said one of two things:

"The sheikh died." (but, thinking again, they would be stupid to go to the city, instead of just going back home... but we never know, with these arabs).

Being an advice, maybe something like "switch your camels"... Because, that would be the other only way I see them rushing to the city... Only if they're racing in each other's camel (because the winner would be the owner of the losing camel).
This way, the one that wins the race, really wins the price.

Or, another possibility would be: "The beautiful Anjali said that the winner of this race can marry her."
But, then again, this is not an advice, and I don't think the riddle is going there.

Stay cool, beautiful critic!

Howdy, dear critic!

Well, I have to admit my conclusion didn't come alone.
Me and my colleagues from school were thinking about it... And we got to the conclusion that it had to be something related to the fact that the slower camel would win...
Then, it was only a matter of doing the "math".

And I'm not that smart...
I spent a good time thinking about it, and discussing it with my colleagues, and my sister...

Well... I was hoping to talk to you today, but I have to go offline, now.
I hope we can talk soon.
Stay cool, chickni critic!
