Long ago, there was a flock of geese led by a wise leader. A king, impressed by the wise goose, became its friend. They used to meet every day and talk of many things. Now, one day, two young geese got into an argument as to who was the faster. They decided to race against the sun to prove who was the faster. The wise goose warned them that they would not be able to catch up with the sun but they did not listen. They flew towards the sun and kept trying to catch up with it but could not. Slowly, they got tired and weak. The wise goose brought them down. After that the wise goose itself raced against the sun and won. The king, who saw all this, congratulated the goose. He, then, asked the goose, “Is there anything faster than you?” The goose replied, “Yes, there is. It is time. Time never stops for anyone. Everything decays with time.”
