content

A flute eats with a tenant and hears about the haunted castle, whose master died in greed. Anyone looking for the treasure won't come back. He really wants to go, plays his flute in the castle and cooks lentils. At midnight a dead person is carried in. The flute feeds him by the fire. He wakes up and lets him split the money in half or he'll kill him. One cruiser is left, the flute cuts it apart. There the old man is released. The tenant is glad to see the flute safe. Half is for the poor, the flute is building the castle from scratch.
