An old man, who had been very ill, died late one evening. His son, who was by his bed, turned to his daughter Anna. "Go to the Tischler bacsi workshop and tell Pruda Jacob to prepare a coffin for your grandfather".
Anna asked: " Does Pruda Jacob knew how large grandfather was, so that he can make the coffin the right size"? Her father reassured her that Jacob bacsi knew her grandfatherwell, and would know how large the coffin should be.
So Anna went to the Tischler house, where everything was dark and still. Nothing was moving around the house, and the only light came from the moon.
MoonShe tried the door of the house but it was locked, so she went to the workshop.
It was locked as well, and at first she could see nothing through the windows.She knocked on the window lightly. Again there was no response, so she put herface closer to the window and knocked louder. In the dim moonlight entering the shop, she saw some coffins on the floor. Suddenly, a body rose from one of the coffins and looked at her. Anna screamed and ran! One of the apprentices had heard her knocking and had gotten up to see what was happening.
