Telling the Truth

Telling of Truths A brown horse galloped across a snowy field at the end of the pasture a fence, it jumped over and continued its crazy gallop into the woods only came to a shuddering halt when it saw a moose. Steaming nostrils, the moose charged, horse fled deeper into the woods. Where it met a forest troll who took it into his cave and gave the horse a bucket of hot chocolate to drink. Since the snow deep and tiring to sink into when walking, the troll also fitted the horse with snow shoes; also, the troll had no need of a horse led it back to its field. When the farmer came to fetch his horse and saw the snowshoes, he had a nervous breakdown and sent away to an asylum, where doctors tried to convince him it was all in his mind. But the farmer would have none of it. So he is still there and they will not release him until he agrees with them that a horse wears iron shoes and not snowshoes.
