poor that they could not even have two meals a day. The old man wished to have a good

he met a young boy in a shiny white robe who told him to dig the backyard of his house.

He was told to dig at a spot where there was a butterfly flying above it.

The next day, the old man dug the spot with uttering a word to anyone. The man

went on digging until he felt something hard. He stopped and peeked into the hole. To his

surprise, there was a bag of gold inside. He immediately brought the bag into his house.

From that day onwards, his life changed. He was able to buy delicious meals and

beautiful clothes for his wife. His wife was curious of their sudden luxury and thought

of gold. They were very happy with their luck and decided to give some of the money to
