    The man answered *No, only the words". The man of the house asked him to explain the meaning of the words and the poor man answered *Dig beside it and you will get another".
    The man of the house said, "If what you say is true you will be a rich man before you leave the house." The man went out and dug beside where the first pot was found and to his surprise found another pot of gold. When the man came in he gave some of the gold to the poor man and they both lived happily afterwards.
