    day the little boy said where is the cushion that grannie used to have all the little white buttons in. They guessed that it was money. They went to tell a priest about it and the priest said that they could go and if she had her face on the cushion not to bring it. The people went and took the lid off it and the grannie had her face on the cushion. They put the coffin back and they told the priest and he said that she was minding it.
