Track Records
There were four race horses in a
stable one day. It was raining and
they were bored so they started talking about their track records.
One of them
boasted, ‘I’
in eight races
so far this year and I’ve
five of them’
‘That’s nothing!’ interrupted the second race horse, ‘I’
in twelve races
the beginning of this year and I’ve won seven of them.’
The third race horse broke in, ‘Well, I’
part in 15 races this year and I’ve won ten of them.’
‘I’
better than
any of you,’
claimed the fourth race horse. ‘
So far this year I’ve been in 18 races and I’
only
four of them.
At this point, they
noticed that a small
greyhound dog was sitting and listening to their conversation,
wagging his
tail. ‘I don’t want to
brag,’ he said, ‘But I’ve been in forty-five
this year
up till now and I
any of them!’
The horses were absolutely
amazed. ‘That’s just
! I’
anything like it!’ said one of them, after an impressed silence, ‘A talking dog!’
