“Long ago a man went to the town every day with oats.”
Long ago a man went to the town every day with oats. He always played cards. When he was coming home he went into a house playing cards. He lost all he had. Next day he did the same, and next day he did the same. At last his mother asked him to go away; so he did. At last he saw a house, and he went into it. That night saw a corpse, and three men carrying it. The man said "It is not right two men against one so I will help this man". Then they went out, and the man went to sleep. After a few hours they came in, and put the corpse into his bed. From that out he never slept in that house again.
