One day a strong cowboy was
traveling on his horse when he saw a bar. He decided to stop for a few drinks,
so he tied(拴)
his horse outside the bar, walked into the bar and ordered two bottles of beer.
This cowboy was new in town. He looked around and noticed some people making
faces to him. He guessed that they might play some tricks (把戲) on him, but he said nothing and continued to drink. After
drinking, he walked out of the bar and found his horse lost.
However, he kept calm, came back
into the bar, and said slowly, " I don't know what you fools did to my
horse out there… but I'm leaving in five minutes,
and by then if my horse isn't back where it's supposed to be, well … I have to do here what I
did in Texas!" The cowboy added, "And I don't want to do what I did
in Texas!" After hearing these words, the other customers seemed a little
bit frightened.
The cowboy went back to his seat
and ordered another two bottles of beer. After five minutes, he walked out and
found his horse tied where it was supposed to be.
Just as he was leaving, the boss
of the bar came up and asked curiously (好奇地) , "What was the thing that you did in
Texas but you didn't want to do here?"
The cowboy turned to the boss and
replied in a low voice, " I had to walk home!"
