When he got there the funeral was just leaving. The young man ordered a slashers, which he got and the he followed the funeral. When he reached the graveyard he ordered the people to leave down the coffin. They refused to do so at first, but he made them. So then he got his slashers and drew on the coffin and broke it in halves and there was a broom in it. So he asked them was it that they were going to bury. Then he got up on his horse and went home.
