      A man was driving his Healey through Wyoming 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 by 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 
British cars, 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 himself.

      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
      bonnet. "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 took the rear jump seat out, tapped the fuel pump 
with his flashlight, turned the key
      and sure enough, the engine roared into life. He muttered a short 
thanks to
      the horse and screeched away.

      When he reached the next town, he ran into the local bar. "Large 
whiskey,
      please!" he said.

      A rancher 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
      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 the
      black horse don't know nothing about cars".
