On the third night the four of them met.One said to the other, "There are nine lives to be lost over this money before we begin to dig for it"They got nine chickens and cut the heads off them and buried them.They began to dig and dig for nine days and nine nights, Until they got the gold. So they shared it out between the four of them. They kept it.
