Once a proud man dismounted from his horse in front of his friends house to pay him a visit.

He saw a boy standing close to his horse and so he said to him :

" hey you , lad , come on over here ."

" Me ?....... Yes , Sir."

" Come and take hold of the bridle of this horse . Hold on until I return from my friends house ."

" But excuse me , Sir , does this horse bite ?"

" No , he doesn't."

" How about kicking? Does it kick ,"

" of course not ."

" I'm sorry , but may I ask you if it runs away ."

" No , my boy , it doesn't run away either ."

" Such a good horse that doesn't bite , kick or either run away , won't need someone to guard it . Leave it here and let it move around freely and be sure that it won't go anywhere."

The boy then turned around and calmly walked away .
