One day a poor man was traveling on horseback. At noon, he tied his horse to a tree and then 46  to eat something. A few minutes later, a rich man came along and tied his horse to the same tree.
“Please tie your horse to another tree,” said the poor man. “My horse is wild. It will kill yours.”
   47    the rich man said, “I shall tie my horse as I like!” he tied up his horse and had his lunch nearby. After a moment they heard a terrible   48   , the two horses were fighting. They went up to them, but it was too   49   . The rich man’s horse was killed. “See what you horse has done!” cried the rich man. “You will have to   50    it.” And he brought the poor man before Mr. Know.
Mr. Know asked the poor man some questions. But he made no   51   . At last Mr. Know said, “This man is dumb. He cannot speak.”
“Oh,” the rich man shouted   52   . “He can! He spoke to me when I met him.”
“Are you sure?” asked Mr. Know. “What did he   53    ?”
“He told me not to tie my horse to the same tree because his horse was wild and would kill my horse.”
“Oh,” said Mr. Know. “So he  54   you. Then can you expect to get money  55   him? ”
The rich man said nothing and left silently.
