.An old man was going home late one night with his horse and cart after a day's hard work. When he was not far from his house, the light on the cart went out. He tried but could not mend it.
He was near his home, and so he went along the road without a light. When a policeman saw this, he stopped the old carter.
"Where's your light?" asked the policeman. "No one may take a cart along a road at night without a light. You know that. You've broken the law.”
"I had a light," said the old man, "but it has just gone out."
"I don't believe that story," said the policeman. He took out a book and got ready to write. "What's your name and where do you live?" he asked.
"Please don't take my name," said the old man. "My house is just there. You can see it from here. I had a light nearly the whole way. I haven't come far without a light."
"You came all the way without a light. What's your name?"
The carter quickly took the policeman's hand and put it down on the top of the light. The light was still hot, and burnt the policeman's hand. He jumped and he was very angry.
"Now, what do you think?" said the carter. "Did I come all the way without a light?"
