Treasure under One’s Own House

Chapter 4.5 in Stories to Tell Your Students, 2011, pp 149-150 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract There are many variations of this story about a person who goes on a long journey in search of a treasure that turns out to be located in the basement of his own house. One version of the story goes as follows: There was a man who had heard stories about a great treasure that could be discovered. The man really wanted to find the treasure, so he set off on a journey to try and find it. In his search for the treasure, he traveled to the town of a great mystic. He asked the mystic how to find the treasure. The mystic told the man that he would need to travel to several places and to complete a series of tasks at each place to get clues as to where to next travel. After several years and many adventures, the clues brought the traveler back to the mystic, who told him that the treasure had from the beginning been hidden in the basement of the traveler’s own home.
