Beschrijving
The Relative in the Urn. (During the years after World War II), a family gets a parcel from the U.S. (other western country, Australia) containing among other foods a box filled with an unknown powder. The family members mistake the powder for a certain sort of flour (special spice, instant drink), use it to bake a cake (scatter it on the food, dissolve it in milk) and enjoy the meal (drink). A few days later they get a letter telling them that the box contained the ashes of a relative whom they might want to bury [Cf. X21].
