A few years ago a certain man sent his brother who was a bit simple to a fair, to sell seven young pigs. He led the horse along and never looked back until he was crossing the bridge leading to the town.
He saw one of the pigs leaping over the creel.
He looked into the car and saw it empty, he had lost them all on the way.
Another day he was sent to cart manure to the field. He went out with the first load. When he came back to fill another he saw the other men laughing at him. He had the first load still in the car.
