III. An automobile story

An American who was going by car through the country saw in front of him a man followed by a dog. As the car drew nearer the dog suddenly started to cross the road. The poor animal was hit by the car and killed.

The American stopped his car and approached the man. "I am very sorry that this has happened," he said. "Will ten dollars be enough?"

"Oh, yes," said the man, "ten dollars will be quite enough!" The man put the money in his pocket and as the car disap­peared in the distance, he looked down at the dead animal and thought: "I wonder whose dog it was."
