- Once upon a time there lived a man and his wife who used always be fighting. The man died and he was buried. There was no headstone put over him and soon a lot of nettles grew on his grave. One day the woman went to say a prayer over the grave. She knelt beside the nettles and she got stung and she said "Musha dead or alive the sting was always in you."
