A long-distance truck driver on a lonely road through some hills is flagged down by a young lady who asks for a lift into the next town. The driver gives her a lift but it starts raining heavily as they approach the town where the girl says she lives. When the girl points to her house in one of the streets, the driver stops, and he offers her his raincoat, saying, ‘ I’ll pick it up next time I’m driving through.’ The girl thanks him and disappears into the house.
The next time he is driving through the town the driver stops at the house to pick up his raincoat. At the house he finds only one old woman who assures him no young woman lives there. The driver is puzzled. But just then he looks up at the mantelpiece and sees a photograph. It is the young woman he lent his raincoat to. ‘ But,madam’, he says,’ that’s the young lady.’
‘ That’s, my dear young man ‘, says the old lady sadly ‘was my daughter, and she’s been dead five years now, knocked down by a truck in the hills out there.’
‘ I’m sorry, madam’, says the truck driver. ‘But for a moment I thought I was sure.’
‘If you don’t believe me,’ said the old lady, ‘ I’ll take you down to the cemetery and show you her grave.’ So the old lady and the truck driver go down to the cemetery.
