Beschrijving
The Beggar Dies in Night Lodgings. A large sum of money is found in a dead beggar’s clothes (sewn up in his coat) [N524.1]. On a clergyman’s advice, the money is used to buy pigs and fatten them. All the pigs are slaughtered except one, which leads the clergyman to the graveyard, where it sinks into the dead beggar’s grave (the beggar is seen riding in flames on one of the pigs to hell). It shows that the money was acquired in a dishonest way.
