- (continued from previous page)This went on until all the old woman's ill-gotten gains had vanished. At last she was penniless. Once more her daughter was buried, and this time she remained at rest.
- One night a man was coming home from town. As he was passing by a graveyard a woman came out and followed him. She had long hair which she was combing. When the man reached his own house the ghost disappeared. He went to bed but just before he fell asleep he heard the cock crowing. Next morning the cock had'nt a feather on him and he before traces of a fierce struggle. The man then knew that he owed his life to the cock for he had defended the house from the ghost.
