It was the custom in a certain village that when a man died, his sister was to keep watch over his grave three nights in a row. If a girl should die, the watch would be kept by her brother. A certain maiden died, and her very brave brother went to the cemetery for the vigil. At midnight three dead men arose from their graves and asked, "How about a game?" "Why not?" he answered. "But where do you want to play?" "We always play in church."
