Horse Chestnut.

"I was sitting on the bootblack’s stand,” said the story-teller, “when the parade came along, the grand marshal riding a big bay horse at its head. Well, just as the head of the parade came opposite me, it stopped The grand marshal’s horse wouldn’t go another step." “Recognized you as his long lost half brother, I suppose,” said one of his listeners maliciously. “Think you’re smart, don’t you? Well, I'll tell you, anyhow. It was pride that made that horse stop—nothing but pride. He wanted his shoes shined.”
