How was the traveler when he got to the country inn?He was ______. [br] Why di

Once a traveler was riding in the rain. He was wet and cold when he reached the country inn. The inn was so crowded with people that he could not get near the fire. So he called out to the waiter: Take some fish to my horse. And the waiter answered :But a horse doesn’t eat fish! The traveler then said : Never mind, do as I tell you. On hearing this strange order, the crowded people ran out to see a horse eat fish. The traveler now having the whole room to himself, sat down besides the fire and warmed himself.
    When the waiter came back with the crowded people, he said: Your horse doesn’t eat fish. The traveler answered: Never mind, but put it on the table, and when I had quite dried my clothes, I’ll eat it myself!
