Three Bretons stepped out of a bar one night in 1912 and saw a donkey on the road.
The donkey appeared to be waiting for them and even spying on them.
Paranoid and no doubt a bit drunk, the men believed that the donkey was really the local priest.
According to local superstition, the priest could turn himself into a donkey on special feast days.
The men walked up to the donkey and shouted, “We are not afraid of you!”
The donkey brayed back at them and, in fear, the men killed the donkey.
The men were arrested and fined for their foolishness.
