Horse Joke

This joke was shared by Pastor Prayuth during a session with the Hope Church Bangkok Worship Team.

Once upon a time, there was a farmer who owns a fine, white horse. Unfortunately, he had to sell it because he is moving to another town. Before he left, he told the man whom he sold the horse to, "This horse is a very special horse. It can run as fast as the wind. But it is strange because it only responds to two commands. If you want to make run, you have to say "Praise the Lord!" But if you want to make it stop, you will have to say "Amen". "

The farmer left for town, and the new owner of the horse was eager to have a ride on it to see how good does it feel. He got on the horse, kicked it and shouted "Praise the Lord!!" the horse took off galloping. As he was feeling excited due to his adrenaline rush, he shouted "Praise the Lord!!" a few more times, and the horse galloped even faster. Then, all of a sudden, he saw the edge of the cliff not too far in front of him. The path they were on was coming to a dead end. He panicked and kept on pulling the leash and and shouting for the horse to stop, but it did not respond. Then, the man realised what the farmer had told him, and shouted, "Amen!!" The horse came to a screeching halt just a few inches at the edge of the cliff. The man heaved a sigh of relief, "Ah... that was close.. Phew! Praise the Lord.."
