John promptly sued his friend and daughter and the judge sent for them. When they arrive the judge had the girl him many gold coin she found she replied forty gold coin ' the judge then asked the greedy man how many gold coins he had lost and he answered fifty gold coins.
The judge then told the greedy man that the gold coins did not belong to him because the girl found 40 and not 50 gold coin as he claimed to have lost. He then told the girl to take the gold coin and if anybody began to look for them, he would send for her. The judge told the greedy man that if anybody reported that they had found his 50 gold coin, he would send for him. He was that John that confessed that he had lied and that he actually lost 40 gold coin. But the judge did not listen to him
