“One time there was a woman living by her-self in a house. When she was about to die her little grandchild came to mind her.”
One time there was a woman living by her-self in a house. When she was about to die her little grandchild came to mind her. The grandmother had a sum of money in a bag hanging by the bed. When she was dying, she told her Grandchild to melt the gold and let her drink it and she would die easy. She gave her the money and the child went down. She put butter in a tin and melted it and kept the gold for her-self.
