I can never think of titles...
I leaned over and whispered in her ear, "Are you sure?" My eyes were following the beautiful white Arabian and her handlers. Mare leaned over and whispered back, "Yeah, I think I could tame her in a couple weeks." I had some trouble hearing her, because of the shrill squeals of the horse. Also the music coming over the loudspeaker combined with the voice of the auctioneer did not help at all. The auctioneer was saying, "Will anyone buy this...um..fine mare? she is...um...even tempered and well worth buying!" I wondered if we were looking at the same horse. This was a terrified horse dragging along her handlers. She also looked partially wild. I could see potential in the horse. I looked at Mare again, "Are you sure?" She hesitated, then nodded. I stood up, waved our number and shouted "$200!" Everybody turned to see who was crazy enough to buy the horse. "Sold!" came the voice of the happy auctioneer. I sat down. The man sitting next to me said, "You know eight people have tried to tame that horse?" "What happened to them?" I asked. "Two were killed, two were bitten, two had bones broken, and two just gave up." I smiled and said, "Perfect, I love a good challenge!"
