  The great novelist had gone mad, but now there seemed to be some hope for his recovery. For six months, he had been sitting at his typewriter pounding out a novel. Finally, he pronounced it completed and brought the book to his psychiatrist, who eagerly began reading it aloud:
  "General Jackson leaped upon his faithful horse and yelled, 'Giddyap, giddyap, giddyap, giddyap"' The doctor thumbed through the rest of the manuscript." There's nothing here but 500 pages of giddyaps! " he exclaimed."
  "Stubborn horse," explained the writer.

倔强的马
  大作家疯了,但现在似乎还有恢复的希望。六个月以来,他都坐在打字机旁用力地敲一部小说。终于,他宣称书已写好并把它拿到精神病医生那里。医生急切地大声朗读起来:
  杰克逊将军跨上他的忠实的马,喊道:‘驾,驾,驾,驾’医生翻了翻剩下的手稿。五百页纸竟全是‘驾,驾’!他惊奇地说。
  是匹倔强的马,作家解释道。
