The Secret of the Coffin During the funeral of a sixty-year-old farmer, his faithful horse burst into the cemetery.
Several men tried to stop the runaway animal, but then it began to furiously strike the coffin lid with its hooves.
Everyone present froze in horror when the lid cracked open and they saw what was hidden inside… The funeral of the sixty-year-old farmer began early on a cold morning.
A heavy gray sky hung over the cemetery, the wind slowly swayed the bare branches of the trees, and the damp earth, soaked from the previous night’s rain, clung to the attendees’ shoes.
Family members, neighbors, and almost the entire town gathered around the freshly dug grave, because everyone knew the deceased.
Some bought milk from him, others had worked with him on the farm, and many simply respected him for his honesty and dedication.
Beside the coffin stood his wife, her eyes red from crying so much. Next to her, her son smoked in silence and occasionally turned around so no one would see how his face trembled.
The priest read a prayer in a low voice, people bowed their heads, and only the gusts of wind and the muffled sobs of the women could be heard.
It was then that, in the distance, a loud whinny was suddenly heard. At first, no one understood what was happening.
