One person was dead in a town. They buried him under the house. They did not put banal51 and a plow iron over the grave. The Ībwa went there and saw there was no banal on the grave, so he was not afraid. He went there and took the dead man. He put one foot of the dead man over each shoulder and let him hang down over his back. A man saw him while he was walking in the street. The man told the people in the town what he had seen. The people did not believe it and went to see the grave. No dead man there, only the clothes and mat.
