There was once a traveller who was wet and cold because he had been riding in the rain. At last he reached a small inn. The inn was so crowded with people that he could not get near the fire. So he called out to the innkeeper," Take some fish to my horse!" The innkeeper answered," But the horse doesn’t eat fish!" The people heard this strange order, ran out to see the horse eat fish. The traveller, now having the whole room to himself, sat down beside the fire and warmed himself.
When the innkeeper came back with the crowd of the people, he said," Your horse would not eat fish." The traveller answered," Never mind; put it on the table, and when I have quite dried my clothes. I will eat myself."
