    brother couldn't understand why was the old woman rising from her grave.
    The young man told the rich brother that if he would give half of his flock and half of his money to his poor brother he would put her in the coffin in such a way that she would not rise again so the rich brother agreed, and whey they were burying her face facing the bottom of the coffin so she never rose again.
