Description

The narrator tells how an owl arrived near the house of a family for several nights. The man of the house was annoyed so he took out his gun and shot the owl. A short time later the man's wife died. He later discovered through a sequence of events that the owl was the messenger of the lord of the cemetery, and that his wife died because he had wounded the lord's messenger.
