Explanation
Passage for Reading & Comprehension: Caliph Haroon-Ur-Rasheed was a wise Muslim king of Baghdad. One day, when he was holding court, Qazi of the city brought up a disputed case. Two people claimed a horse. One was a beggar, while the other was a rich man. Qazi was unable to decide the case, so he brought it before the caliph for a decision. The Caliph asked the rich man to present facts. The rich man told him that while he was riding to the city on the horse, the lame fellow requested him to lift him up to the city gate. When they reached the city gate, the beggar refused to get down and claimed that the horse was his. Then the beggar told his story. As he rode his horse to the city that morning, he said that the rich man tried to borrow his horse. As he was a stranger to him, he could not lend him his horse, so he gave him a ride up to the city gate. On reaching the city gate, the rich man refused to get down and claimed that the horse was his. The Caliph asked them to touch the horse one by one. At first, the beggar touched the horse. On his touch, it winced; the horse expressed its pleasure by neighing when the rich man touched it. The caliph made his decision that the horse belonged to the rich man.
