As he got older, he got in frail health. And he was then waiting to die.
”Although he was called a great liar, he never made up a harmful lie, he always made people laugh with his white lie.”
People agreed and they gathered at home of the great liar.
Then the great liar whispered.
”Everyone, I hope all of you will be well. I prepared a small amount of money for you.
Please dig out the underfloor of this house when I die, and you will find a pot filled with money. ”
