    Said the poor old man.
    During the famine there was a man in this neighbourhood who wanted to bury his brother. He asked the help of men but could not get any.
    He asked for the loan of a horse and cart, but could not get it, because they were all working. Next he asked for the loan of a wheelbarrow and that was given to the poor man.
    So he put his dead brother across the wheelbarrow and wheeled him to the graveyard.
