He Was Too Enthusiastic.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an hon
est horse trader. He would not lie
about horse. He would merely sup
press the truth. Incidentally, he al
ways beat the customer who dealt with
him. The way he could slur over the
defects and buzz about the virtues OF
an animal amounted to genius.
once Hank was trying TO sell n
neighbor horse that had an eye which
was nearly SightleSs. The neigh Dor
knew Hank would not lie outright 10
him, SO he questioned the horse trader
