Question

 

【题文】  There was a traveller who was wet and cold because he had ridden in the rain. At last he got to a country inn. The inn (酒馆) was so crowded (拥挤) with people that he could not get near the fire. So he called to the inn keeper, “Take some fish to my horse!” The inn keeper answered, “ But the horse doesn’t eat fish.” The traveller then said, “ Never mind, do it as I tell you.” The crowd of people, hearing this strange order, ran out to see the horse eat fish. The traveller, now having the whole room to himself, sat down beside the fire and got himself warm.

   When the inn keeper came back with the crowd of people, he said, “Your horse wouldn’t eat fish.” The traveller answered, “ Never mind, put it on the table, and when I have dried my clothes, I will have it myself.”
