Both the old man and his horse appeared sick. People looked at them with pity but hardly ever hired his buggy.
I gathered he spent a large portion of his earning on medicines for the horse. He ate at a cheap hotel and never left it hungry. I have seen him petting it often.
One night, with a friend's help, I secretly replaced the horse with a healthy one. The other horse was left in the care of a faraway veterinary doctor.
How could I forget that the heap of money I owned had come from racecourses?
