an3.15:2.1 “Once upon a time, there was a king named Pacetana.
an3.15:2.2 Then King Pacetana addressed his chariot-maker,
an3.15:2.3 ‘In six months’ time, my good chariot-maker, there will be a battle.
an3.15:2.4 Are you able to make me a new pair of wheels?’
an3.15:2.5 ‘I can, Your Majesty,’ replied the chariot-maker.
an3.15:2.6 Then, when it was six days less than six months later, the chariot-maker had finished one wheel.
an3.15:2.7 Then King Pacetana addressed his chariot-maker,
an3.15:2.8 ‘In six days’ time there will be a battle. Is my new pair of wheels finished?’
an3.15:2.9 ‘Now that it is six days less than six months, Your Majesty, I have finished one wheel.’
an3.15:2.10 ‘Are you able to finish the second wheel in these six days?’
an3.15:2.11 Saying, ‘I can, Your Majesty,’ the chariot-maker finished the second wheel in six days. Taking the pair of wheels he went up to King Pacetana, and said this to the king,
an3.15:2.12 ‘Your Majesty, these are your two new wheels, finished.’
an3.15:2.13 ‘But, my good chariot-maker, what is the difference between the wheel that was finished in six days less than six months, and the wheel finished in just six days?
an3.15:2.14 Because I can’t see any difference between them.’
an3.15:2.15 ‘But, Your Majesty, there is a difference.
an3.15:2.16 See now what it is.’
