There once was a man who loved horseback riding in the wilderness.  So, he went to a breeder to buy a horse.  The breeder told him: "I have one horse who can talk like a human, but he's hearing-impaired.  I've been trying to sell it, but no one wants it.  I'll give him to you for $200."  "Great, I'll take it!", the man answers.

Soon enough, the man happily goes riding off into the wilderness on his new horse.  Suddenly, he's captured by a tribe of cannibals, and they're about to kill him.  Still, the chief of the tribe decides to give the man one last wish.  
"I want to say goodbye to my horse," the man says.  "You got it," the chief tells him, "but don't think for a second that I'll let you go."  
The man goes to his horse, whispers something in his ear, and sits on the ground.  "What now?", the chief asks.  "Wait until the horse comes back, he'll bring me what I wished for."

Hours later, the horse comes riding back with a gorgeous young woman on its back.  The man runs up to the horse and yells: "You fool!  I told you to bring back a posse!"

But isn't there more to the story.
The gorgeous woman distracted the cannibals.
They ended up fighting over her and killed each other and you lived to tell the tale.

The horse had good horse sense....
