- Once upon a time there lived a man and his wife who used always fighting. One day the man died and he was buried. There was a tombstone put over him and R.I.P. was written on it. One day the woman went to the grave to say a prayer for her husband and she saw R.I.P. written on the tombstone. There was a woman near her and she asked her what it meant and she said "Rest in peace. Then she got a chalk and wrote under it, "Till I go to you."
