after the battle of waterloo, wounded horses were sold by auction. the famous surgeon sir astley cooper bought twelve, and extracted bullets and grape-shots from the bodies of the suffering animals. after the operations he let them loose in his park in the country. one morning to his delight, he saw the animals form in line, charge and then retreat, and afterwards gallop about, appearing greatly contented with the lot that had befallen them. these manoeuvres were repeated every morning.
滑鐵盧一役之后，當局拍賣受傷戰馬，名外科醫生阿什利．庫珀爵士買了十二匹，動手術為這些痛苦的動物剜出身上子彈、葡萄彈，然后放牧在他鄉間的園林。一天早上，他欣然看見十二匹馬排成一列，向前沖鋒，繼而退卻，然后四處奔馳，似乎對命運十分滿意。牠們每天早上都重復上述演習。
