As he was shown through the barn, the ventriloquist thought he'd have some fun.

He proceeded to make one of the horses talk.

The hired hand, wide-eyed with fear, rushed from the barn to the farmer.

"Sam," he shouted, "those animals are talking! If that sheep says anything about me, it's a damned lie!"
