  1. One night a man and his wife were going to the town. As they neared the town they met a drove of asses and ueels on them. The woman said isn't it late they kept the asses at the mehil and who had them. They both had to go upon the fence to let the drove pass. When they passed the man and woman looked after them to count them and all they saw was an old woman with a bag on the back. They got frightened and rushed home as quickly as they could.
