- StoryThere was once an old woman who had a lot of money. One day she got very ill. There was a nurse attending her. She told her to get a bed ready for her by the fireside. When she was by the fireside she told her to boil gold for her so that nobody should be fighting for her money when she would be dead. The nurse boiled a piece of butter as gold and gave it to the woman. The old woman thought it was the gold she was drinking and the nurse kept the gold for herself.Heard from:- Pat Flaherty
