The Horse

[Julia Kimber]

A rich man was trying to find his daughter a birthday gift when he saw a poor immigrant with a beautiful white horse. He told the man that he would give him $500 for the horse. The poor man replied, "I don't think so, mister, it don't look good," and walked away. The next day the rich man came back and offered the poor man $1000 for the horse. The poor man said, "No better not, it don't look too good." On the third day the rich man offered the poor man $2000 for the horse, and said he wouldn't take no for an answer. The poor man said well OK, and the rich man took the horse home. The rich man's daughter loved her present. She climbed onto the horse, and it galloped away right into a tree. The rich man rushed back over to the poor man's house, demanding an explanation for the horse's blindness. The poor man replied, "I told you it don't look so good!"
