    A man coming the road with a crowd of cattle, and the man in the bag asked him would he like to go to heaven and he said he would.
    So they changed places in the bag and the other started to bring the cattle to his own house.
    When the brothers saw him the next day they asked him where he got the cattle and he said he got them in the bottom of the lake.
    They said they would like to get cattle so they went to the lake and the two men got into bags and the other man threw them in and they were drowned.
