  1. 4. One night a man went to a card play and when he was coming home it was twelve o'clock. On his way home he had to cross a field. When he was crossing it he saw an object running after him. He ran home and called together all the men of the neighbour-hood and they went over to see what it was and they found it was only a donkey.
