He glowered at Bigmouth, pointing at him angrily and shouting, You damn fool! You have fouled my courtyard enough. Get out of my sight!
Please keep your voice down, Master, said Bigmouth with a cunning smile. If you frighten my horse and make him bolt, youd have to sell everything youve got to make good the damage.
There you go, Bigmouth, bragging again! said Skinflint. What can this scraggy little horse of yours possibly be worth?
To which Bigmouth replied, Oh, nothing, except that when he moves his bowels silver and gold come out.
In an instant Skinflints anger evaporated and he hastened to ask, Where did you get hold of this beast?
I dreamt a dream the night before last, began Bigmouth. I met a white-bearded old man who said to me, Bigmouth, the colt who used to carry gold and silver ingots for the God of Wealth has been demoted and sent down to Earth. Go to the northeast and catch him. When he moves his bowels, silver and gold come out. If you catch him, youll make a fortune. Then the old man gave me a push and I woke up. I didnt take it seriously, thinking it to be nothing but a dream. I turned over and fell asleep again. However, as soon as I closed my eyes, the old man reappeared and urged me to hurry up. The horse will fall into anothers hand
s if you delay! he said, and gave me another push which woke me up again. I put on my clothes and ran out. In the northeast I saw a ball of fire. When I ran over, sure enough, there was the colt, grazing contentedly. So I led him home. The following day, I set up an incense burner and as soon as I lit the incense, the colt began to produce silver ingots from its behind.
