  1. (continued from previous page)
    was buried in the barn and he said he was there when his father was burying the money and he said whoever would find money his life would be lost. The beggarman then asked the boy had he a chicken and the boy said he had. He cut the neck off the chicken and put the mark of the blood around the hole where the money was buried. Then he told the boy to dig for the money.
    The boy dug for it and got it and they both lived happily ever after.
