Realising he had an opportunity to make even more money, he asked for a wish in return for helping the fairy.

He said, 'All that I touch should turn to gold', and his wish was granted by the grateful fairy.

The greedy man rushed home to tell his wife and daughter about his new boon, all the while touching stones and pebbles and converting them into gold.
