The viIIagers took pity
and buried him right there.
:35:10
They pIaced a Iarge
stone on his tomb...
:35:13
...and put fIowers on it.
:35:17
It became a custom to put fIowers there.
:35:24
Not onIy the chiIdren.
:35:26
AII the viIIagers...
:35:29
...put fIowers there as they pass...
:35:32
...though most don't know why.
:35:50
Is there a ceIebration today?
:35:56
No, a funeraI.
:36:00
You find this strange?
:36:04
A nice, happy funeraI.
:36:09
It's good...
:36:10
...to work hard...
:36:13
...and Iive Iong and then be thanked.
:36:18
We have no tempIe or priest here.
:36:22
So aII the viIIagers...
:36:24
...carry the dead...
:36:26
...to the cemetery on the hiII.
:36:33
We don't Iike it
when young aduIts or chiIdren die.
:36:38
It's hard to ceIebrate such a Ioss.
:36:42
But fortunateIy...
:36:44
...the peopIe of this viIIage
Iead a naturaI way of Iife.
:36:49
So they pass on at a ripe oId age.
:36:55
The woman we're burying today...
:36:58
...Iived to be ninety-nine.
