- Long ago there lived a man that used to be out late playing cards. One night as he was coming home he saw four men coming across the fields with a coffin on their shoulders. He came up to them and as he was coming nearer to them they disapp-eared. He caught a hold of the coffin and dragged it to a neighbouring house. He went into the house and there was an old woman inside and they opened the coffin and there was a beautiful girl lying insi-de. The old woman searched the girl's hair and she found a pin stuck in it. She pulled out the pin and the little girl opened her eyes and became a living being again.
