English translation
It was about 50 years ago. H.P. Nyström in Farsta was a little boy then. One evening he was playing in the churchyard. He then picked a small flower that grew on a child's grave. - But that night, his mother had to take him with her and carry the flower back to the churchyard, because the whole room became filled with figures of little girls. One should never take anything from the dead.
Original transcription (Swedish)
Det är bortåt en 50 år sen. H.P. Nyström i Farsta var då lillpojke. En kväll var han på kyrkogården och lekte. Tog han så en liten blomma, som växte på en barngrav. - Men på natten fick mor hans ta honom med sig och bära blomman tillbaka på kyrkogården, för det blev fulla rummet med småflickskepnader. Man skall aldrig ta något från de döda.
