    mother got into a rage and beat him well. She hunted him away and he wandered away till he came to a graveyard and it was raining hard. He saw a headstone and he put his coat around it. Suddenly he saw a man rising up out of a grave and the man spoke to him and said "I will give you a large sum of money that I have buried here near my grave if you don't tell any one where you got it. Jack promised faithfully that he would not. He got the money and lived happy ever afterwards.
