    “Once upon a time there lived a woman. And she lit the candles for the dead.”

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there lived a woman. And she lit the candles for the dead. When she had the candles lit she began working away with the light of them. After a while she went towards the table for something and she saw a common candle in the end of the table. She took it and lit it. When she had it lighted she worked away with the light of it. It is not right to use candles for the dead for any use.
