Be Careful What You Say!

That's Weird, Grandma
There once was a magical horse. His name was Goldy horse. He would win 1st place for every race he was in. One day a crazy man wanted to win so much that he thought if he ate olives for a hole month he’d win. This man would wear his clothes backwards! After a month of eating nothing but olives he lost. The crazy man just got worse. Now, one day when Goldy horse was getting ready to race the crazy man came into the den where the horse was. The crazy man yelled, “What’s your secret! I need to know it!” The horse said, “Kindness”. The man was shocked that the horse could speak. No one really knows the crazy man’s name so we’re going to call him Psycho. Psycho no longer wanted to race. The horse would look at him and smile and for the rest of the day the man would be screaming. Psycho remembered what Goldy horse told him, so he tried it and nothing happened. As soon as he lost he yelled, “Dumb horse! You didn’t help me with anything.” Psycho started to cry! The horse was there when he said it. Psycho didn’t notice that he was there. Goldy horse walked by him and said, “You have to be nice for a hole month.” “Whatever.” said Psycho looking annoyed. The horse was upset that Psycho was ignoring him so he started to call him names. Goldy horse had lost the race that he was in that day. His owner said, “If you don’t win the next race your in, I’m going to eat you for dinner!” Goldy horse was scared. He went over to Psycho and said sorry, but he didn’t mean it. Goldy horse lost the next race he was in and indeed his owner had him for dinner that night. Goldy horse had been haunting his owner for the rest of his life. His owner started to go crazy! He couldn’t take it anymore so he put an end to his life. Goldy horse thought that was the funniest thing, but as soon as he started to laugh his spirit died and his mission of revenge was over at last. As for Psycho, he had a wife and had 3 beautiful children. I’m sure this is the end to Goldy horse, or is it?
