    There was an old man with a long beard that used to sweep the ground. One day he was walking along the road and he saw a crowd of men. The men thought he was a load of hay and he thought they were a crowd of asses. When they came up near him they laughed as they though he was a load of hay and he said he thought they were the asses coming up to eat him.
