A man was driving through west Texas one spring evening. The road was
deserted and he had not seen a soul for what seemed like hours. Suddenly
his car started to cough and splutter and the engine slowly died away,
leaving him sitting on the side of the road in total silence.
He popped the hood and looked to see if there was anything that he could
do to get it going again. Unfortunately, he had a limited knowledge of
cars, so all he could do was look at the engine, feeling despondent As
he stood looking at the gradually fading light of his flashlight, he
cursed that he had not put in new batteries, like he had promised
himself.
Suddenly, through the inky shadows, came a deep voice, "It's your fuel
pump." The man raised up quickly, striking his head on the underside of
the hood. "Who said that?" he demanded. There were two horses standing
in the fenced field alongside the road 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
roared to life. He muttered a short thanks to the horse and screeched
away. When he reached the next town, he ran into the local bar. "Gimme a
large whiskey, please!" he said. A rancher sitting at the bar looked at
the man's ashen face and asked, "What's wrong, man? You look like you've
seen a ghost!" "It's unbelievable," the man said and recalled the whole
tale to the rancher.
The rancher took a sip of his beer and looked thoughtful. "A horse, you
say? Was it by any chance a white horse?"
The man replied to the affirmative. "Yes,it was! Am I crazy?"
"No, you ain't crazy. In fact, you're lucky," said the rancher, "because
that black horse don't know shit about cars!"
