    “One night there was a priest going on a visit to a sick person.”

    One night there was a priest going on a visit to a sick person. He came on horseback, and the night was very dark. He came on the road, until he came to a heap of stones that were broken. Then he met four men carrying a coffin on their shoulders, and a number of men wearing black clothes walking after them, and not a woman in the crowd. Then he had to walk the horse on top of the stones, so that they could pass him out. Then he went to the house and the person was dead.
