One day a poor man was traveling on horseback. At noon, he tied his horse to a tree and then sat down to eat something. A few minutes later, a rich man came and tied his horse to the same tree.

The rich man’s horse was killed. “See what your horse has done!” cried the rich man. “You will have to pay for it.” And he brought the poor man before Mr Know.

“Are you sure?” asked Mr Know. “What did he say?”
“He told me not to tie my horse to the same tree because his horse was wild and would kill my horse.”
