Once upon a time there were two people, an old woman and her granddaughter, who lived for many years at the edge of a great big forest. The little girl's parents had died when she was very young, and her grandmother had always looked after her. Their cottage was lonely and isolated, but they didn't think so, and the two of them were always happy and content together.
One morning the old woman couldn't get out of bed. She was in great pain. Her granddaughter was fourteen years old at the time, and she took care of her grandma as well as she knew how. Five days went by, then the grandmother died, leaving the girl all alone in the cottage. She knew almost no one, nor did she want to ask a stranger to bury her grandmother, so she dug a deep grave under an old tree in the forest, and there she laid her grandma to rest.
