Smooth English

The evil horse

Once there was a horse that belonged to a man. One day the horse's eyes grew red, and the man killed it. Afterwards the man was attacked by the horse. The horse called and suddenly there were a thousand other horses with it, and they chased the owner. The horse bit the man many times. On that fateful day the man died.
