    As he came into the graveyard he heard some noise and stood still in a great fright, the noise went away and on he went until he got into the middle of the grave yard. Then he heard moaning very near the open grave. Going over to it he said "what is the matter?" He then got an answer. "Oh it's very cold down here."
    "They forgot to cover you" and with that he went to shovel clay in on the corpse. The lad jumped up and the boy said "you won't frighten me."
