and he had not seen a soul for what seemed like hours. Suddenly the VW started to cough and splutter and the engine slowly died away, leaving him sitting by
the road in total silence.
He popped the boot and looked to see if there was anything that he could do to get it going again. Unfortunately, he had a limited knowledge of VW's, so all he could do was look at the engine, feeling despondent.
As he peered by the gradually fading light of his flashlight, he cursed that he had not put in new batteries, like he had promised.
Suddenly, through the inky shadows, came a deep voice, "It's your fuel pump."
The man jumped up quickly striking his head on the underside of the boot. "Who said that?" he demanded.
There were two horses standing in the field alongside and the man was amazed when the nearest of the two horses repeated,
"It's your fuel pump, tap it with your flashlight, and try it again."
Confused, the man tapped the fuel pump with his flashlight, turned the key and sure enough, the engine Dak Dak into life.
He muttered a short thanks to the horse and drove away.
When he reached the next town, he ran into the local bar. "Large whiskey, please!" he said.
A Farmer sitting at the bar looked at the man's ashen face and asked, "What's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost!"
"It's unbelievable," the man said, and recalled the whole tale to the farmer.
The farmer took a sip of his beer and looked thoughtful.
"A horse, you say? Was it by any chance a white horse?"
The man replied in the affirmative. "Yes it was! Am I crazy?"
"No, you ain't crazy. In fact, you're lucky," said the Farmer, "because the black horse don't know shit about VW's."
