What was he going to do after he buried her。He decided to buy a beautiful tombstone for her grave. He went to a shop in town, but all the tombstones were too expensive, and he didn't have enough money. He asked, "Do you sell old tombstones, please。" "Yes, we do, sir," answered the shopkeeper. "Are they as expensive as new ones。" "No, they're much cheaper," said the man. "But the other person's name is on it." "It doesn't matter," said Tom. "My aunt couldn't read."
