One peasant died. When they began to look for people who would help bury him, three volunteers volunteered. On the way to the cemetery, they noticed a watchman standing at a nearby garden and turned to him:
- Brother, help us carry the dead man to the cemetery.
“I can’t,” answered the watchman, “I’m busy, I have a lot to do.”
The man lying in the coffin raised his head and said:
“And I have a lot of unfinished business, but death has come.” I left my business and am leaving this world. Help me carry me to the cemetery, so that after your death others will help bury you.
