Padre Porko, the gentlemanly Pig and the General's Horse (7)

" They say that it is my fault, that I made him fall when I rode him for exercise. But it's not true. I always go slowly, and turn corners at a walk. "

" Let's go and see, " said the Padre, going to the closet for his rubber coat.
" And here's a cape for you to put around your shoulders. "

Once, at a General's, the Padre and Antonio hung their wet things in the harness-room and unhooked the door of the box stall where the white horse lived.

He was a superb animal, but he stood with one front foot off the floor.

" Excuse me, Your Excellency, but can you tell me the cause of Your Excellency's lameness ? "
