It was also parked among the crowd of the exact same black cars. While returning, he gets into his own car, but it was actually the carelessness of a farmer's wife who kept her things in the wrong car, which turned out to be the narrator's. He thought he got into the wrong car when he was licked by the farmer's dog , and also when he found her handbag and stuffs. On the dog's collar, was written the address of his house. With the help of that, he finds the farmer's home. The farmer but took everything rather well as he knew of his wife's nature of carelessness. Then he told about the incident to him and when he checked the number plate of the car, he realised that he was right at the first place. He offered him a cup of coffee.Then , they had a good laugh, and the whole thing ended on a very happy note. There was another that came up.
