	There was once a Groom who used to spend long hours clipping and combing the Horse of which he had charge,


	but who daily stole a portion of his allowance of oats, and sold it for his own profit.

	The Horse gradually got into worse and worse condition, and at last cried to the Groom,


	"If you really want me to look sleek and well, you must comb me less and feed me more."


	The moral, of course, is After you marry a woman, she stops caring about her looks and just wants more to eat.


	This Groom must've got married in Indiana, if he couldn't tell his wife from a horse.
