The Car & The Horse:
A Short Tale a Djin Once Told Me (VOL I)
Once upon a time there was a human with a horse. It wasn't a poor human, but it was a simple one.
One day whilst plowing fields, forcing a horse to plow a course...("Jim", we shall name horse) thae human stumbled upon a brass lamp, ornately carved & brilliant to witness.
As the human was furiously rubbing the lamp with it's sleeve, Jim noticed some text on the bottom of the lamp and imagined what it might sound like..
"Neigh..", the human heard, curiously
BUT this isn't a tale of humans. It is a tale of horses and electric cars. The last of my tales dwarfed the original story, thus causing OP to delete the entire post. However, that story isn't gone forever. I still have it. This is simply a different one.
And this is a story about a horse.
FOR MORE HORSE STORY, INSERT COIN
Oh great, the coin judt scratched my phone screen. You owe me a horse story!
The scratch is simply a metaphor.
This is a horse story...
....A found letter story, in the form of a Ken Burns documentary!!
POOF
"Dear Bobert,
I have stumbled upon a majestic lamp & read the text of lamp. A genie... neigh..a Djin then appeared. When asked for my first I gurfawed "Apple", but sadly it was an apple of knowledge. Damned Djin. Now I am on my second wish, which I have decided is "Replace horse with car".
Please, if this is a bad wish, alert me within the next few minutes. I realize now that it is too late, as you have already received this and I have made my wish.
Alas, I lovingly await your sheep words..
Car love you, Jim The Horse The Car"
