A driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest. As he lay down in the seat and closed his eyes, a man came up and knocked at the window to ask the time. The driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch. “It’s 8 a.m.,” he said. Then he went to sleep again.

But soon he woke up because a second person was knocking at the window. “Sir, do you have the time?” he asked. The driver looked at his watch again, and told the man it was 8:30 a.m..
