One day, a poor man was travelling with a horse. At lunchtime, he felt tired and hungry, so he tied (系) his horse to a tree to let it eat. Just at this time, a rich man came with his horse and he wanted to tie his horse to the same tree. “Don’t tie your horse here,” said the poor man. “My horse is very wild and it will kill your horse.” But the rich man didn’t listen.
A few minutes later, the poor man’s horse killed the rich man’s horse. The rich man was angry and took the poor man to judge. The judge asked the poor man, “Did your horse kill his horse?” The poor man didn’t say anything and the judge was worried. “He is dumb. What can I do?” “No. He can speak,” said the rich man. “He asked me not to tie my horse near his horse.” “If this is true, the poor man will not pay for your horse,” said the judge.
