    dug up the ground until he saw something shining below in the hole which of course he thought was gold. He stooped down and took it up but he found it was a tin box. He opened it and he found a big silver broach with a blue diamond in middle of it in the box. In the morning some of the people found the hole in the ground and the silver box left beside it but there was nothing in it.
    They filled up the hole and some one of them kept the box and afterwards the man came to the village and he told them what he had found on the hole.
