A well to do chap was driving across the reservation when he spotted a beautiful horse grazing in a field dotted with trees. He stopped and looked more closely. The confirmation was perfect, the head was noble and the beast had the legs of a runner.
He decided he needed that horse for his stable, and turned in to the road and drove to the Hogan. Being aware of local convention. He turned off the car and waited until an older Navajo stepped out of the Hogan which signaled he was prepared to receive guests.
The man told the Navajo he was struck by that horse and interested to know if he might be for sale.
The old Navajo replied that he thought it a bad idea to buy that horse, "Horse don't look good." was the reason given.
The man asked to examine the horse closely and was given permission. Upon close inspection he found the horse was a good or better than he though. He made an offer, and the old Navajo just shook his head and said, "horse don't look good, don't buy."
He asked then to ride the horse, and again the reply was, "horse don't look good." So he mounted the horse and set out across the field.
The horse angled straight under a tree scraping the rider off on to the ground. When he recovered consciousness he looked up at the old Navajo standing over him. "Horse don't look good," said the Indian.

“Tell me, Johnnie,” said his teacher, “if your father borrowed $100 and promises to pay $10 a week, how much will he owe in 7 weeks?”
“One hundred dollars,” said Johnnie.
“I’m afraid you don’t know your lesson very well,” remarked the teacher.
“I may not know my lesson,” said Johnnie, “but I know my father.”
