A traveler was stopped on a dark road by a robber who pointed a pistol at him.
"give me your money", shouted the robber.
"I have not got any money", said the traveler.
"what have you got?" asked the robber.
"I have got a gold watch", said the traveler.
"give me your watch, or I fire", said the robber.
"I shall make a bargain with you", said the traveler.
"I shall give you my gold watch in exchange for your pistol".
"that will do", the robber said, took the traveler's watch and handed him his pistol.
"and now", said the traveler, pointing the pistol at the robber, "give me back my watch, or I fire".
"fire away!" said the robber. "this old thing is out to order. It is of no use".
"my watch is out of order, too", said the traveler.
"it is of no use".
