There was once a man who was promised a large
sum of gold. All the man had to do was
stand under an oak tree, and stare at a mountain.
He stood under a great oak, and cast his
glance upon a snow covered mountain in the distance. Night came, and the man, not in possession of
any gold, grew tired and decided to go home and rest for the night.
He came back to the same oak early in the
morning. He stood under the oak all that
day as well, staring at the mountain on the horizon. Night came once again, and the man, feeling
cheated, left the oak and headed to a local tavern for a drink.
While sitting at the bar with his drink, he
heard a loud scream! He turned to see a
rugged old man, with holes in his clothes, holding a large sack. The old man started going on about how he was
walking through the forest just minutes earlier. When he had stopped under a large oak tree to
take a break, he happened to glance to the north where he seen a twinkle,
caused by the moonlight reflecting off of something on a nearby
mountainside. The old man went to
investigate the twinkle, and upon reaching the location the twinkle had occurred,
the man happened to spot a large pile of gold.
He put it all in his sack and hurried back to town to buy a drink.
There was then the sound of glass breaking,
and the man at the bar grumbled under his breathe, shot the lucky old man an
enraged gaze, and stormed out the tavern.
