(continued from previous page)This man that put him to work lost all his cattle and cows and horses.The beggarman's brother was going down to the ditch and he says, "There's a crock of gold down there in the ground.".This man that had lost all his cattle and cows and horses got the crock of gold and brought it home.He was going out in the door after and he dropped dead.So the beggarman's brother waked him and buried him.He got the trough of gold in the house.He got cattle and horses and sheep.
There was nothing died on him.He had land and he had a workman. Everything he had died.
The workman himself died.There was a man passing down. He used be selling milk. So he went in.He found the two men dead on the floor.He says, "That's the end of ye all."
