Summary
Story about a house built with headstones removed from a graveyard.
A man who took headstones from a graveyard to build his house was told that his would be the first house in the township without a roof because of what he had done. This came true.
Followed by another version of the story. After a quarrel, one of the headstones was used in the construction of the chimney. Someone foretold that the highest stone in the house would be the first to fall down. This is what came to pass.
