       this time he got safely to the other side with the hearse, and

       mourners, who were sitting behind, were too heavy, and fell
       back into the water and were all carried away by the stream
       and drowned.
         Thus Chanticleer was left alone with his dead Partlet; and
       having dug a grave for her, he laid her in it, and made a little
       hillock over her. Then he sat down by the grave, and wept
       and mourned, till at last he died too; and so all were dead.
