- (continued from previous page)boy place the dead woman beside a flour bin to look as though she was making a cake
In the morning the man thought she was back again so he said that he would give fifty pounds to the man who would bury her.
The boy took the money and went to bury her "mar deadh"
It happened that the man and woman were going to town on a car that day.
When they were going there a little way the boy put the dead woman on a young horse's back and sent the horse galloping after them.
When the man saw her he said he would give a hundred pounds to the person who would bury her. The boy took the hundred pounds, and at last he went and buried her.
