A Humbug (Ch31 / Q7)

I think the relationship between a thief and a humbug is interesting because a thief takes something that is not theirs but this humbug, in my opinion, is even worse. He tries to ring as much money as he possibly can out of Mr. Barry while he does almost no work at all. He never groomed Beauty fully, cleaned his saddle, clean his feet, and he even left his bit all rusty. The worst thing he did was that he never took all of the straw away. So the straw underneath became moist and rotten. It not only smelled really bad but it also made Beauty's feet very tender. Mr. Barry took Beauty to the horse doctor and he saw the problem. Eventually Beauty's feet healed but Mr. Barry didn't want a horse any more because he had been tricked twice.
