A preacher decided to sell his horse. A prospective buyer was impressed with the animal, but the preacher said,"I must warn you-he only responds to'church talk'. Go is'Praise the Lord', and stop is'Hallelujah'. "
"I've worked with horses all my life, "said the buyer,"and I've never heard of anything like this. "Mounting the horse, he said skeptically,"Praise the Lord. "The horse began to trot. He repeated"Praise the Lord"and the horse broke into a gallop. Suddenly the buyer saw a cliff dead ahead. Frantic, he yelled"Hallelujah", and they came to a stop two foot from the edge.
Wiping the sweat from his brow, the buyer said,"Praise the Lord!"

传教士决定卖掉他的马。一个想买马的人看中了这匹马，但传教士说：“我必须警告你——他只懂‘教堂语’。走是‘感谢上’。停是‘哈利路’。”
“我一生都在同马打交道，”买马人说，“这样的事我还是第一次听到。”他跨上马，将信将疑地说：“感谢上帝。”马开始小跑。他重复说“感谢上帝”，马开始飞奔起来。突然，买马人看到前面是一个悬崖。他手忙脚乱，大声喊道：“哈利路亚。”他们在离悬崖只有两英尺的地方停了下来。
买马人擦了擦额上的汗，说道：“感谢上帝！”
