“One day about twenty years ago, I went to my uncle's house, with an ass to get a car.”
It was early when I got to my uncle's house.
I stayed there until night.
I wanted to come back that night, and my uncle wouldn't let me.
Then he said that he would let me go back and he would come with me.
When we were half way on the road my uncle saw some black object coming out of the ditch. It went under the ass's feet and be gob the ass fell.
We couldn't get him up and begob we got him up after a long time.
My uncle said that it must have been the devil.
