One day, as he was digging a hole to catch a crab he caught a solid-bar which was yellow and shiny. Happily he brought the bar back to home and asked his neighbor what it was. The neighbor confirmed that was gold. Immediately, he came back the place where he had caught the gold bar and continued digging. At last, he collected more 9 bars. He said thank to god and brought all 10 bars and hid them. He planed to buy some field and get married. Unfortunately, his neighbor couldn’t keep the thing in secret. Therefore, the rumor that he had caught gold spread largely. It came to a landlord. The landlord went to his home immediately to make friend. He found all way to have the gold. At last, he insisted him to get married with his sister. The man felt pleasant and agreed. Then his life became more easily. He had a beautiful wife, had a house and had field.
But the plan of landlord, at last, was successful. Ten gold bars were fallen in his hand. Though, he couldn’t usurp the gold bars alone. The news that a person had caught gold came to a mandarin. As the mandarin heard that gold had fallen in to landlord’s hand he couldn’t stop his rapacity. The mandarin called the landlord to come and ask him to separate the gold bars in two, five bar for the mandarin and the others for the landlord. But the landlord didn’t want to separate that made the mandarin be angry. The mandarin had a plan he forced robbers he had just caught to said that the landlord was their accomplice. The landlord was beaten very hard. At last, he had to give the mandarin the gold bars and including his assets to get freedom.
After having the gold bars, the mandarin asked his son to bring the gold bar come home, buy field. But the son was gambler. In his travel he saw a casino and immediately was attracted.

But, after short time, they poisoned and died.
The gold bars, now, had no owner.

Though his goods were still not stacked on boat he had pushed off. The boat had floated in sea for two day it met a storm that made mast broken then all of the boat also was broken and sunk into the water. all things including gold bar sunk. Fortunately, the trader caught a plank and drifted to beach. As he was saved by people and woke up he chucked and said:
