The Ventriloquist and the Indian

[sharpenu]

A ventriloquist is visiting an Indian reservation and decides to have a little fun with the Indian chief.

“Hey there,” he says. “I bet I can make your horse talk.”

“Horse no talk,” says the Indian chief.

“We’ll see,” says the ventriloquist. He turns to the horse and asks, “So how does your master treat you?”

“Pretty well,” says the horse. “He gives me plenty of food and water, and he lets me run all over.”

“I bet I can make the dog talk, too,” says the ventriloquist.

“Dog no talk,” says the Indian chief.

“How about you?” the ventriloquist asks the dog. “Is he good to you too?”

“Yup,” says the dog. “We play fetch.”

“Let’s see what the sheep has to say,” says the ventriloquist.

“Sheep lie! Sheep lie!”
