The devil began to beg him:

"Do not kill me,—I will do anything you please for you."

"What can you do?"

"I can make as much money for you as you wish."

"All right, make it for me!"

And the devil taught him how to do it.

"Take some oak leaves from this tree," he said, "and rub them in your hands. The gold will fall to the ground."

Iván took some leaves and rubbed them,—and the gold began to fall.

"This is nice to have," he said, "when you are out celebrating with the boys."
