  1. One day a young man, who at that time was called a poor scholar went to a house for some help. As he was entering the house, he saw what is called a griddle on which was some writing in a foreign language. When he looked at it he said to the woman of the house "wherever that griddle was, the writing means there was as much more the other side." The griddle was the cover of a pot containing gold treasure found some time before and on going to the place they discovered the other pot.
