A talking horse

A travelling salesman stopped alongside a field on a country road to rest a few minutes. The man had just closed his eyes when a horse came to the fence and began to boast about his past. «Yes sir, I’m a fine horse. I’ve run in 25 races and won over??5 million. I keep my trophies in the barn.» The salesman worked out the value of having a talking horse, found the horse’s owner and offered a handsome sum for the animal. «Oh, you don’t want that horse,» said the farmer. «Yes I do,» said the salesman, «and I’ll give you??10,000 for the horse.» Recognising a good deal, the farmer said without hesitation, «He’s yours.» While he wrote out his cheque, the salesman asked, «By the way, why wouldn’t I want your horse?» «Because,» said the farmer, «he’s a liar — he hasn’t won a race in his life.»
