  1. There was a man coming from a village one night. He had to cross some lonely fields, when he met a man, who was a long time dead. The dead man asked him to pay a bill for him. [unsure] which he owed in a shop in that same village. The man asked him if he would keep going around until after the harvest. Then the dead man struck him blind.
