"Never fear!" said the beggar.
"But you are now a rich man. Isn't that enough?" asked Fortune.
"A little more," said the beggar.
"Now," said Fortune, "the bag is full, but take care, or you will lose it."
"Just a little more," said the beggar.
Fortune put in just a little more. The bag broke. All the gold fell through upon the ground and turned to dust.
The beggar had nothing left but his old broken bag. He was as poor as he had been before.
