rural Illinois, he and a certain judge in town once got to bantering with
one another about horse trading. The upshot of the discussion was that they
agreed that the next morning, at nine o’clock, they would meet in front of the
general store and make a trade. Each would bring a horse, unseen by anyone up to

from each man was held by the local banker. The next morning, at the appointed hour, the Judge, came up the dirt road, leading the sorriest looking specimen of a horse ever seen in those parts of Illinois.

A. the life of Abe Lincoln B. a horse trade made by Abe Lincoln C. a gambling in Illinois D. Abe Lincoln’s philosophy [填空题]
