A poor cowboy walks into a saloon

and sits down at the bar. His jacket and shoes are ripped, and he is covered in dust. Grimly he looks around the saloon and finally raises his voice:

"Could I have one beer please? However, I am afraid I wont be able to pay"

The bartender, slightly amused by a fact that a poor man would try to squeeze a beer out of him replied:

"Well, if you bring my horse to laugh, then you can have a beer, for free! But I warn you, my horse has no emotions, and never laughs nor cries!"

The cowboy turns his head and gazes outside. He sees the only horse tethered to the wood outside. He swings himself out of his chair, walks outside and whispers into the horses ear. As soon as he turns back the horse starts wheezing and laughing, even snorting out of its nose. Its neighs can be heard far and wide. With a big grin on his face, the cowboy sits down. The bartender, with eyes the size of plates, gives him his beer and says:

"That's incredible! You know what, lets try one more. If you can make my horse cry, I will give you a fresh meal, and a place to stay for the night!"

Again, the cowboy gracefully swings from his chair and walks outside. The horse has shifted position this time, so the bartender cannot see what is happening. But sure enough, a couple seconds after the cowboy went outside, a wailful cry came from the horse. Tears spilled everywhere, which the bartender, to his disbelief, could see. The cowboy came back inside and sat down once again. The bartender, almost stammering asked:

"Sir, you have to tell me, how did you do that? How did you make my horse laugh and cry?"

*"Well, I first told the horse "Mine's bigger than yours" to which the horse laughed"*

"But how did you make him cry?!"

*"I showed him"*
