    before the cock crows in the morning and it is I who will be in the coffin. When you see the funeral passing take out your pen knife and throw it at the coffin and strike it and you will get me back, but if you throw it over the coffin and not touch it you will not get me back. His brother did as he was told but the knife went over the top of the coffin and an hour after that he heard the fiddler being killed on a hill not far from his own house.
