A Cowboy meets an Indian herding sheep in the Black Hills .
&gt\\;&nbsp\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'Nice dog you got there. Mind if I speak to him?'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Indian: 'Dog no talk.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: ' Hey dog, how's it going?'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Dog: 'Doin' all right.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Indian: (Look of shock!)
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'Is this Indian your owner?' (pointing at the Indian)
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Dog: 'Yep.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'How does he treat you?'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Dog: 'Real good. He walks me twice a day, feeds me great food &amp\\; takes me to
&gt\\; the lake once a week to play.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Indian: (Look of total disbelief)
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your horse?'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Indian: 'Horse no talk.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'Hey horse, how's it going?'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Horse: 'Cool.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Indian: (Extreme look of shock!)
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'Is this your owner?' (pointing to the Indian)
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Horse: 'Yep.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'How's he treating you?'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Horse: 'Pretty good, thanks for asking. He rides me, brushes me down often, &amp\\;
&gt\\; keeps me in a lean-to to protect me from the weather.'
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Indian: (Look of total amazement)
&gt\\;
&gt\\; Cowboy: 'Mind if I talk to your sheep?'
&gt\\;
