“Many years ago and old woman died in our locality.”
Many years ago and old woman died in our Locality. When putting her in the coffin a big mistake was made; they forgot to cut the tape that tied her two big toes.
When the funeral was over and the friends returned home, there was the corpse sitting on the hob holding up her feet to get the tape opened.
