Fairy Gold

Two weary friends meet in a smoky tavern, trading cheap ale for a tantalizing secret. Augustus Teak, a long‑time husband of a thrifty housewife, confides that his wife has stashed a small fortune somewhere in their modest home. He convinces his trusted lodger, Mr. Chase, to move in and quietly uncover the hidden gold, promising a handsome reward for a simple act of discovery.

The story follows their uneasy partnership as they navigate a cramped house, a garden that has lain fallow for decades, and a wife whose prudence borders on obsession. Their banter is laced with humor and a hint of moral unease, while each clue they chase raises the stakes of their covert operation. Listeners will be drawn into the clever cat‑and‑mouse game that tests loyalty, greed, and the lengths people will go to protect—or pilfer—what they consider theirs.
