    the tables were turned and his father died two nights after he got the gold.
    When the father was waking a wind came over the house which shook the house from its foundations. Afterwards the three sons spent the money very extravagent until some time before they died they became very poor and had to become shoemakers.
    So this ended the O Hara family.
