My Brother's "Accident"

Okay, so I get this voice-mail from my mom. "Your brother's been in an accident. He sent pictures but didn't say anything about what happened. He said he'd write a big letter explaining everything." (It's not word perfect but you get the jist). So anyway. Like my brother always does, he failed to mention anything about it to me on his usual Monday-Email. Well, a week went by and I had no idea -it was driving me nuts too! So I asked my dad today what in the world had happened. Turns out since my brother didn't send any explanation or anything my Mom called the Mission President.

This is the story that I got: My brother had been out with his companion visiting at someone's house (the story was simplified so I never found out who he was visiting). Anyway, moving on. During the visit a loud crash echoed in from outside. I can just imagine the oodles of panic as the Elders exchanged horrified glances. They had driven their car to the visitor's house, naturally, and who elses car would have been hit but the Elders?? So. My brother and his companion rush outside and get to the door in time to see the driver "speeding away". A total Hit-And-Run.

These are the pictures my brother sent:





And now I must confess. When I heard the news and saw the pictures the only thing I could do was laugh. This story, to me, was hilarious! ...But, like most kind hearted folk, you may ask: Why on earth would you think this is funny?? Well, the funniest part was that the driver was actually "driving" ...dun Dun DUN! -a HORSE!!! Yes. That's right. My brother's car got hit by a horse. They said they got outside just in time to see him gallop away with his rider. (If you pay attention to the pictures you can see that the car is covered in horse hair!) Can you believe it?? And they didn't even get a license plate number!
