- A man and his son were coming home one night. They had two cars and the man drove the first car. They met a woman, and she asked the man to carry her as he was first. He told her to get in, and after a while the horse was not able to walk at all. The man said to her she must be very heavy, but she said that as sure as his son was dead in the car behind him, there was a ton weight on his horse. Then she got out of the car, and the man went back to find his son dead.
