“Stay, where are you going? Come and stay the night with me.”

“No, brother, do not ask me: it is no good. I have business at home tomorrow and must be there early.”

“Well, goodbye.”

“Thank you very much.”

So he sat on the horse, and the horse galloped away like a whirlwind.

Suddenly the cock crowed: it was a very terrible sight! Graves all around, and under the wayfarer a gravestone!
