  1. Long ago there was a woman living with her daughter. The daughter knew that her mother had money, and she was always anxious to find out where she had it hidden. Her mother got sick one day. She called her daughter to her bedside and she told her when she would die not to comb her hair at all. After she had died they prepared her so when they combed her hair they found a purse of money and gold rolled up in her hair.
