    (continued from previous page)
    passing the spot he saw something like an ass standing on top of the fence.
    My father lost his hat and he thought the fence was on fire. Next morning when he went back for his hat there was no ass or fire but he could not get his hat.
    He told the story to the neighbours and they said it was the devil that was in it.
