One peasant died. Getting ready to see him off on his last journey to the cemetery, the relatives of the deceased turned to their neighbor.
- Help us take our father to the cemetery.
“I can’t,” answered the young man, “I’m busy, I have a lot to do.”
Then the dead man lying in the coffin raised his head and said:
“And I had a lot of unfinished business, but death came.” I had to leave my business and leave this world. Help me carry me to the cemetery, then after your death strangers will help your family bury you.
