    had no learning as she never went to school and she could not read so she said "will you please tell what is the meaning of these words. He read "the other side of the bush is as good as that." The woman knew what that meant because she got a pot of gold under a bush and she told her friends about what they boy told her. They began to dig for the gold and there the got another pot of gold. They gave some of it to the little boy and they were all rich for the rest of their lives
