The Brown Suit

The Brown SuitThe is the twenty-sixth story from More Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark. This story is meant to be comedic.

Plot

A woman came to the funeral parlor to see her husband's corpse and when she saw it, she appreicated the undertaker for making her husband's corpse look like how he originally was, though she informed the undertaker that her husband wore a brown suit as opposed to the blue suit the undertaker putted him in. The undertaker had no issue with dressing the husband's corpse in a brown suit, and change it with little ease.

The woman later returned to find her husband's corpse wearing a brown suit. After seeing it, she told the undertaker how her husband's corpse looked the way he originally looked like, and that she knew that he went through much trouble to retain her husband's original appearance.

"It was no trouble," he said. "As it happened, there is a man here who was wearing a brown suit, and his widow felt that blue would be better. He is about your husband's size. So we gave him the blue one and gave your husband the brown one."

"Even so," she said, "changing all that clothing was a big job."

"Not really," said the undertaker. "All we did was exchange their heads."
