The minister's daughter had just gotten married. After the wedding ceremony there was a great feast, with muzic and dancing and contests and games, even old children's games.
When they got to playing hide and seek, the bride decided to hide in her Grandfathers' trunk up in the attic.
"They'll never find me there," she thought
As she was climbing into the trunk, the lid came down and cracked her on the head, and she fell unconscious inside. The lid slammed shut and locked.
No one will ever know how long she called for help or how hard she struggled to free herself from that tomb. Everyone in the village searched for her, and they looked almost everywhere. But no one thought to look in the trunk. After a week her brand new bride groom and all the others gave her up for lost.
Years later , a maid went up into the attic looking for something she needed. "Maybe it is in the trunk," she thought. She opened it- and screamed. There lay the bride in her wedding dress, but by then she was only a skeleton.
