A cowboy was riding across the plains when he spied an indian tending his flock of sheep, with his dog and his horse at his side. The cowboy rode up, got off his horse and said hello. They talked for awhile, and the cowboy asked if he could talk to the indian's dog. The indian said, "Dog no talk." The cowboy turned to the dog and said, "Hi, how are you?", and the dog said, "I'm just great." The cowboy proceeded to have a short conversation with the dog about the indian, and how well he treated the dog. The indian was stunned!
The cowboy then asked the indian if he could talk to his horse. The indian said, "Horse no talk." But the cowboy turned to the horse and carried on a short conversation about the indian, and how well he treated the horse; again, the indian watched in amazement!
The cowboy then asked, "Do you mind if I talk to some of the sheep?", to which the indian replied, "Sheep lie."
