Two Fools and a Horse

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Robert Rayevsky. Two foolish men decide a traveling peddler looks sinister and therefore must have stolen a horse from their village. The pair look very silly when the peddler's bag is opened and no horse is inside, but in a clever twist, the foolish men are proved right, though they never know it. The entertaining story pictures a hook-nosed, swarthy, thieving peddler against stupid pink-cheeked bumpkins.
