1.They were nearly halfway there when two men came up and asked: “ Why does that poor boy have to walk? Isn’t your horse strong enough to carry you both?”
2.So the boy climbed onto the horse too, and they both rode on.They rode on for a while when some children shouted:“Look at that poor horse.It has to carry two big men. Why don’t you carry your horse for a change?”
3.And that was exactly what they did in the end.
4.So they tied the horse to a pole,and they carried the pole over their shoulders.
5.Then they carried it all the way to the market.
6.The people at the market had never seen like that before.
7.They laughed about the farmer and his son who tried to please everybody.
8.I’m not sure if you think they are both very clever.
