    told him not to buy or sell cattle at graveyards for it was unlucky. When he said that the tombstones beconed at the people to go onwards. So all the horses, cows, pigs, sheep and calves took to their heels till they reached a hill.
    People never held a fair at a graveyard afterwards they say it is unlucky.
