    There was once a man going home from a fair in an ass and car. It was dark and he had no light on the car. He had to pass the barracks and he knew he would be summoned. He thought of a plan. He took the ass from under the car and tied him to the back. The man got under the shafts of the car and he dragged the car and ass past the barracks. A guard came out and he said to the man "Where is your light"? "Ask the driver", replied the man and he passed on.
