- (continued from previous page)burrowed a jug from the rich man's wife to measure the gold. She was very anxious to know what they wanted it for. She left a little suet in the jug so that a little of what ever they put in the jug would remain in it.
When she found the gold in the jug she at once ran to tell her husband. He begged of the poor man to tell him where he got the gold but he would not.
The rich man soon became very poor but his brother lived happy for the rest of his life.
