I was traveling when thereupon the path lay a dead horse. I thought to myself what does one do with a dead horse. I would have paid no mind to this but it blocked my path and I could not continue without taking some course of action. So I pondered around and it did not seem that anyone had lost a horse nor any idea from where it came. So I reached the conclusion that it was simply a wild horse that had up and died along the path. I then thought over how to move a dead horse as horses are very large and I happen to not be. So I grabbed up a stick to try something and it should be confirmed dead before I happen to proad at the horse. I laughed to myself I was beating a dead horse and so I did and not much happened. For a long evening, I did all that was in my power refusing to turn back. I pulled and pushed. I tried to conceive of a levee system but to no avail. I gave up and started walking hope when I heated rustling and one should always be on guard when one is alone so I turned quickly to find the horse rasing itself and it gave me a whinny and trotted away leaving me speechless. What appears, may not always be, and sometimes it is not you who uncovers the truth.
