The dying.Man
Passing by that little chapel of Drung reminds me of an old story that occurred some years ago up in the Drung mountains. An old man was dangerously ill; he had no family, and his patrimony consisted of two cows and the little articles of furniture which his house contained. The priest was sent for, and, as usual, was prompt in his attendance. After administering the consolations of religion to the dying man, his attention was attracted by a noise in the kitchen. He proceeded to see what it was; he returned again to the sick man's room, and was asked what they were disputing about.
"Well," said the priest, "they are disputing about those two cows of yours."
"Is that the regard they have for me?" said the dying man; "Do you know what it is, father dear, if I thought I could get grass for them where I'm going, they would never enjoy a hair of their tail!"
