    the man that if he told where he got the gold it would turn in to dust.
    When the man went home he told his wife where he got the gold thinking it was a lie he had been told.
    So next day he went to count his gold, and lo and behold what was in it but a pot of dust. So he said from that day on he would keep his mind to himself.
