- This story is about a poor man and one of his sons died. He bought a coffin. The man wanted the money but the poor man told him that if the coffin did not do him he would bring it back again to him. He put the dead man into the coffin. He brought it back to the man whom he got it from. He sold the coffin and the dead man to another man.
