text_original: Dick paid down the price, and, riding out to enjoy the evening, fell with his new horse into a ditch; they got out with difficulty, and, as he was going to mount again, a countryman looked at the horse, and perceived him to be blind. Dick went to the seller, and demanded back his money ; but was told, that a man who rented his ground must do the best for himself; that his landlord had his rent though the year was barren ; and that, whether horses had eyes or no, he should sell them to the highest bidder.
