    Immediatley his dead pal appeared and asked if he remembered the evening he got the tobacco. He answered yes. The dead man said I have never payed for it, and if you pay it for me you will do me a great favour. "I certainly will" said the man. His dead pal then put out his hand to say good bye, but the man remembered the priests warning and instead of his hand he gave him his stick which was made match-wood of as he dissappeared.
