    the donkey, but could not. Then he went up to the stranger and said, "Well, you must be a very heavy man, and would you mind getting off".
    The stranger did not move or speak, and the man went again, to try and stir the donkey, but all in vain. He went again to the stranger and said "If you are a dead or a living man, will you in the name of God, get off the car, and let me go home tonight, in the name of God".
    With these words the stranger jumped off the car, and disappointedly looked at the man, and disappeared. But the next morning the donkey was dead.
