The two Sodnos did not trouble about him , but quickly stripped the younger Stalos of their clothes , in which they dressed themselves . Then they sat still till the dawn should break and they could find out from the Stalos ' mother where the treasure was hidden . With the first rays of the sun the young Sodno went upstairs and entered the old woman 's room . She was already up and dressed , and sitting by the window knitting , and the young man crept in softly and crouched down on the floor , laying his head on her lap . For a while he kept silence , then he whispered gently : ` Tell me , dear mother , where did my eldest brother conceal his riches ? ' ` What a strange question ! Surely you must know , ' answered she . ` No , I have forgotten ; my memory is so bad . ' ` He dug a hole under the doorstep and placed it there , ' said she . And there was another pause . By-and-by the Sodno asked again : ` And where may my second brother 's money be ? ' ` Do n't you know that either ? ' cried the mother in surprise . ` Oh , yes ; I did once . But since I fell upon my head I can remember nothing . ' ` It is behind the oven , ' answered she . And again was silence . ` Mother , dear mother , ' said the young man at last , ' I am almost afraid to ask you ; but I really have grown so stupid of late . Where did I hide my own money ? ' But at this question the old woman flew into a passion , and vowed that if she could find a rod she would bring his memory back to him .
Luckily , no rod was within her reach , and the Sodno managed , after a little , to coax her back XXXXX good humour , and at length she told him that the youngest Stalo had buried his treasure under the very place where she was sitting .
