   31. Once upon a time there lived a rich Officer and when he got old he took out all his gold and hid it in a hollow of a field and made his soldiers swear that they would care it forever. A while after he shot them. About a year afterwards two men who knew where the gold was hidden started to dig to find it. They dug until they came to a big stone. Then soldiers began to walk around the stone and the men ran away very frightened and they died soon afterwards.
