    They passed through the locked gate and on to the house and went in. They laid the coffin on the floor and told the man not to open it until morning. The farmer had no patience so he called his wife and daughter. They had a big dog inside in the kitchen. He was barking and jumping around the house so they put him out. They opened the coffin and found inside a young girl and she sleeping. They raised her up and asked her where she came from. She said that she went to bed as usual with her sister ans she knew no more until she found herself here. In the meantime the dog was making great noise and barking outside around the house. When the farmer went out in the morning his dog was dead. They took the girl home. The farmer made a dresser out of the coffin which is still to be seen.
