    "Hello" the two men answered
    "Give me a lift to the next cross-road," the woman said
    "We will" said the men. All was well until they came to the cross road when the two men pulled up and the woman got out of the coffin and the coffin vanished and the woman said "If any of you two hears a noise in the stable to-night don't come out"
    At twelve o'clock that night they heard a great noise and none of them went out.
    As soon as they got up in the morning they went out to the stable and to their surprise the horse was dead.
