The driver next to him was in a hurry and called out: "Tell quick - how far it is up to the next town?"
Till Eulenspiegel replied: "If You drive slowly, it takes about half an hour. Ride your fast, so it takes two hours, sir. "

Till Eulenspiegel went his way slowly down the street, the many potholes had. After about an hour he looked for a curve, a coach are in the ditch. The front axle was broken and it was just the driver from earlier, which is now made cursing them to repair the coach again.
