The rich man, however, ordered his carriage to be made ready, and drove away, resolved to use the opportunity better than his brother had done, and to bring back with him quite different treasures. When he came to the mountain he cried, "Semsi mountain, Semsi mountain, open." The mountain opened, and he went inside it.
