Not sure how such an outlandish tale captivated so many people for so long, but: Trickle-down economics.

Apologies It’s been a lifetime of frustration and sometimes I lash out at people (and threads) who don’t deserve it

There’s way too many to list in South East Asia I’m not even sure where to start, and a lot of stories get passed down through trade but Malaysia, Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand each have their share of scary creatures. And to think some of them came about through stories parents tell their kids so they don’t stray and get caught up with wild animals…

I like the legend of the Black Horse, from the village of Trois-Pistoles in Quebec, where my mother was born. But there are many variants from other places in Quebec.

For those who drink the Trois-Pistoles beer, that’s the black horse you see on the image.

You can read about this legend [here](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Horse_(legend\)).
