Mr. Smith liked travelling. One day, at noon, he came to a small town. He was too tired and hungry to go on. So he went to a restaurant and tie his horse to a tree outside. There were so many people in it that he couldn't find a seat for himself. Mr. Smith thought for a moment and then he looked at one of the servants near the door. He shouted at him.“My horse is in the street. Give it some meat.”

　　All the people in the restaurant looked surprised. The servant asked,“Did you say 'meat', sir?”

　　“Yes, I did,”said Mr. Smith.“The horse is hungry. Give it some meat.”

　　The servant went to the kitchen and took some meat. Then he brought it to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith looked at the meat and said,“Take it to my horse.”

　　The servant went into the street. All the other people in the room went out, too, and they said,“A horse is going to eat meat. Come and have a look at it.”Now the restaurant was empty.

　　Mr. Smith went into the restaurant quickly. He got a big glass of bear, took a seat near the window and began to drink.

　　After a few minutes, the servant came into the restaurant again, and all the other people came back, too. The servant went to Mr Smith and said,“Your horse didn't want to eat the meat.”

　　Mr. Smith smiled and said,“Really? Oh, perhaps…er…well, well, take it to the kitchen and cook it, then bring it to me. I'll eat it. All right? But, please take some oats to my horse. Will you?”
