well apparently way back when electricity was first starting to be implemented in various towns in Europe, this one farmer one night went all over the town taking down the city lights that had recently been put up. No one could find out for years what happened to the lights until a few years after, the farmer had given the lights to relatives and kept a few for himself. Well, the wiring in his house wasnt up for the extra energy the stolen lights would draw, especially with old wiring. One day he came home to see his barn full of fresh asparagus burning down to the ground. He ran to town to look for help and they quickly acted trying to put out the fire with little luck as there was only one fire truck. Later on, within the remains, the townfolk looked on as many metal light fixtures were left behind in the burnt debris. The townfolk proceeded to put out the ashes, only after eating the rest of the farmers asparagus crop. 2 years later the farmer committed suicide by hanging because no one would buy his crop.
