Once upon a time there were two little old people. There was a little old man and his little old wife. The old man and his wife lived in a little old cottage in the woods, surrounded by trees and leaves and birds. The old man would take his basket, leave each morning, and find food for them both. When he got home he would show his wife the food he got and she would cook a good meal. Well, on this day, when the little old man got home he couldn’t find his wife. He looked in the little old bedroom and found her asleep on the bed. He walked toward her, planning on rousing her out of slumber, when he realized she wasn’t sleeping, she had sadly passed away. The little old man took his wife in his arms and prayed to God that she should live in heavenly peace forever.
