One day,a poor man was traveling on horseback.At noon,he tied(拴住) his horse to a tree and then sat down to eat something.A few minutes later,a rich man came along and tied his horse to the same tree.“Please tie your horse to another tree,” said the poor man.“My horse is wild.It will kill yours.” The rich man said,“I shall tie my horse as I like!” He tied up his horse and had his lunch nearby.After a moment,they heard a terrible noise.The two horses were fighting.They went up to them,but it was too late.The rich man’s horse was killed.“See what your horse has done!” cried the rich man.“You will have to pay for it.” And he brought the poor man before Mr.Know.Mr.Know asked the poor man some questions.But he made no answer.At last,Mr.Know said,“This man is dumb(哑的).He cannot speak.”
“No,” the rich man shouted.“He can! He spoke to me when I met him.” “Are you sure ” asked Mr.Know.“What did he say ” “He told me not to tie my horse to the same tree,because his horse was wild and would kill my horse.” “Oh,” said Mr.Know.“So he had told you.Then how can you expect to get money from him ” The rich man said nothing and left silently.
