The Lone Ranger and Tonto rode into town on a hot day, tied up their horses outside the saloon, and went inside to drink some beer. They’d just got settled, when a stranger came in and said to the Lone Ranger, “Hey mister, is that your white horse outside?”
“Yes,” said the Lone Ranger, “that’s Silver. What’s wrong?”
“You’d better come outside,” said the man, “he doesn’t look too good.”
They all went outside and saw Silver lying on the ground, panting in the heat, exhausted.
“Quick,” said the Lone Ranger to Tonto, “get a bucket of water and soak this blanket in it. Then run around Silver waving the blanket at him. That’ll cool him off. I’m going back inside to drink my beer.”
The Lone Ranger was half way through his glass of beer when another stranger came in.
“Hey mister,” he said, “is that your white horse outside?”
“Yes, that’s Silver, said the Lone Ranger. “What’s wrong now? Is he alright?”
The stranger answered, “Your horse is fine, but you left your Injun running.”
