+the miser a miser sold all that he had and bought a lump of gold which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at daily
+one of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements
+he soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure and digging down came to the lump of gold and stole it
+the miser on his next visit found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations
+a neighbor seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause said
+pray do not grieve so
+but go and take a stone and place it in the hole and fancy that the gold is still lying there
+it will do you quite the same service
+for when the gold was there you had it not as you did not make the slightest use of it
