Old horse's story

"Go, go away! Go away! You old and useless beast! " One thunderstorm night, a farmer shouted at an old horse.

The old horse said unjustly, "But, master, I have been with you for so many years, you can't just abandon me so mercilessly. I promise I can carry food for you, I can walk around behind your back, and I can even watch the door for you ... "

"Fuck you! I raised you for 30 years in vain, and now you are old and can't create any value for me. What do I need you to do? "

So the old horse reluctantly left his master with tears in his eyes.

Walking, he saw a businessman looking for a job in the street and said to the businessman, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"Ha ha, what can you do with this old horse? Let me see ... Why don't you help me carry some bags of grain, I'll tell you the route, and I'll give you some bags of corn as a reward after delivery! All right. "

"Well, that's settled!"

As a result, the old horse ran for dozens of kilometers in one breath, panting and finally completed the task, and the businessman kept his promise and gave it corn.

When the old horse got the corn, he immediately thought of its owner. Because of its decades of feeding, he wanted to give him half of the corn. So it ran back to its owner.

"Master, I specially sent you corn!"

"Oh, corn, great, my family is short of corn. But you, an animal, know how to be grateful. "

"Give me a third. That's just enough for you to eat for a while. " The farmer continued.

"Well, master, I'll give you a third. You can take it."

At this time, the farmer's son said, "Dad, let's give the old horse some more food. After all, it thinks about us all the time. "

"No, son, the old horse is no longer a member of our family. Besides, we haven't provided it with food and shelter for so many years, and it should repay us. "

"Master, what you said is very reasonable. I'm leaving. "

"Mm-hmm."

The old horse left the farmer again. This time he saw an official recruiting people, so he came forward and asked, "Hello, what can I do for you?"

"You? What can an old horse do when it's dying? Ok ... maybe you can post a letter for me. "

"Whatever you say."

"You send this letter to a friend of mine dozens of miles away, and I will give you a bag of gold."

So the old horse ran around the clock and sent a letter. The official kept his promise and gave it a bag of gold.

At this time, it thought of its owner again and ran back.

"Master, what have I brought you?"

"Hey, you beast is so kind to you. You catch good things everywhere you go! "

I saw the farmer grab the gold and say, "Give it all to me. You don't need it anyway. "

"But ..."

"Nothing but, I will tell you that gold is of no use to you animals. Thank you, thank you very much. " The farmer said as he pulled the old horse out.

At this time, the old horse's eyes burst into tears. He doesn't understand why his master can't give him a meal, or even chat with him for a while. ...

A few months later, the old horse felt weaker and weaker and had to find another job to get paid.

Walking, the old horse suddenly saw a robber hijacking a "child". He looked forward and turned out to be the master's son.

"How is that possible? I have to save him. "

I saw that the old horse tried his best and hit the robber heavily on the back. The robber was knocked out more than ten meters away. Then the robbers got up and slashed at the old horse, and the old horse was immediately cut "bleeding".

However, the old horse did not flinch and continued to rush forward. The robber saw its fearless spirit and was finally scared away.

After the robber escaped, the farmer's son was moved to hug the old horse. ...

"Let's go home. I'm sure dad will be grateful to you for a lifetime. You can still spend the rest of your life in our house. "

"Little master, it doesn't matter. It's a long way. Let me carry you home. "

"But you are hurt."

"It's okay, come, sit on my back ..."

So the old horse sent the lame farmer's son home.

When he got home, the farmer hugged his son excitedly.

"Dad, you should be kind to the old horse in the future. It saved my life! "

"I know, I know, the reward must be given, but it is not only old but also black and blue. How can I keep it? "

So the farmer ordered his servant to give the old horse only a small bag of grain, and said, "Beast, this bag of grain is for you. Please don't come to my house again in the future, so as not to appear that I owe others! " "

"What? I expect you to owe me one. I'll use you? So that's what you always think of me ... "

"Dad, you see, the old horse is bleeding again! Go to the vet and treat him. "

"Is it a match!"

Suddenly, the old horse fell to the ground with a bang and died of exhaustion.

"You this beast, how so dead in front of my house, what bad luck! But well, let me lie down and sell your skin and let our family enjoy your meat. "

"No, Dad, we can't do this!"

"Go away!" The farmer pushed his son aside and picked up a sharp knife.

Who knows, when the farmer was about to cut it down, suddenly there were dark clouds in the sky, lightning and thunder, and heavy rain poured down ... I saw that the lightning was impartial and just chopped the farmer's knife.

"Hum, you beast, you are lucky, but as soon as the rain stops, your body will rot and have no value, so I don't want it!" The farmer said.

"Go, go back to the house!"

"Dad, I'm not leaving, I want an old horse, I want an old horse, an old horse, wake up, wake up ..." My son was dragged away reluctantly.

It has been raining for three days and nights, and there are still tears in the old horse's eyes, but the corners of his mouth are still smiling.

It is laughing at "own stupidity? Laugh at "the farmer's meanness" and laugh at "all kinds of things in this world" and no one will know. ...
