Title
The bylichka "The case at the sacred place"
Annotation
Two people argued about where it is safer for a person to spend the night: in a cemetery or in a sacred place. One man went to the cemetery, and the other went to the sanctuary. The man who was in the cemetery, in his sleep heard a voice that was indignant that he was preventing someone from walking. But another voice asked not to touch him, as he was tired and just sleeping. And the man who spent the night in the sacred place did not return home. Then only his bones were found in the sacred place. That's why they say that you can't sleep in a sacred place.
