- (continued from previous page)to get the treasure he would have to dig up the floor in the morning. The slave got out of bed and got a pick-axe and dug up the floor. After digging for a long time he saw a box underneath him. Was it the gold? he wondered. He was about to take up the box when someone held him by the shoulder. It was Johnson again. He pulled him way frm the box. Then he said. "You have not got patience, so you won't get the treasure." He pushed the slave out of the room and covered up the treasure. Nobody ever tried for the treasure since. This story was told to me by
