A Smart Horse
There was a farmer who fell and broke his hip 3 while he was plowing, and his horse immediately galloped five miles to the nearest town and returned, carrying a doctor on his back.
"That’s a pretty smart horse," the farmer’s friend later observed.
"Well, he’s not really so smart," the farmer said. "The doctor he brought back was a veterinarian!"
