   When you are satisfied with copper close the chest and put back the dog.
   Then proceed to the second aparment and there you will see silver.
   You will also see a dog sitting upon it with eyes as large as tea cups but you need not be afraid.
   Spread the apron on the floor put the dog sitting on it and you can have as much money as you wish out of that chest.
   When you are finished with the chest secure it put back the dog and go on to the third apartment.
   In the third chest there is gold and a dog sitting upon it.
   The dog that is sitting is most horrible, he has eyes like a clock face but you need not worry. Spread the apron on the floor and put the dog on it and you can have as much gold as you like.
   Then close the box that the gold was in put back the dog as usually.
   When that was done he came up the trunk and came down the tree.
