You'll recall that this is a story that the judge tells as a kind of
-
instructive story to the men as they're sitting around.
-
And the story is that there's a traveler passing through a wild part
-
of the mountains, and he is accosted by a man who
-
lives there.
-
The harness marker who lives there invites the stranger in,
-
and then tries to get money off him and then finally the traveler gives
-
him a lecture on morality.
-
In the end, as the traveler leaves,
-
the harness maker accosts him again,
-
and kills him and buries his bones.
-
The wife discovers this and cares for the bones of the traveler.
