The horse leader possessed

The horse leader was sitting in front of a little shop eating his lunch of fried noodles. He leaped up in surprise. "Something has possessed my horse," he cried. "Something terrible has happened. I must take my horse to a yamabushi or a hoin!"
The liar said, "Don't make such a fuss about a little thing like this. I'll cure it." He went around to the other side of the horse and stroked it with the back of the ladle and the big noise stopped abruptly. The owner of the horse was delighted. He thanked the liar and bought him some wine. The liar went home happier than ever over the thing he had found.
