A hungry donkey was tied to a rope eight metres long. About thirty metres away there was a pile of fresh carrots. The donkey wanted to eat those carrots. How did he reach them?
(was tied = ήταν δεμένος, a pile of = ένας σωρός από, reach = φτάνω)
The answer was found by John P. : The donkey was tied to a rope, but the rope was not tied anywhere!!!
