He came to the inn, gave the gold over to the innkeeper, and went back after the remainder.

And when he had brought all the gold he went to the merchants, bought land in the town, bought stone and timber, hired workmen, and began to build three houses.

And Afanasy dwelt three months in the town and built three houses in the town, one house, an asylum for widows and orphans, another house, a hospital for the sick and the needy, a third house for pilgrims and paupers.

And Afanasy sought out three pious old men, and he placed one over the asylum, another over the hospital, and the third over the hostelry for pilgrims.

And Afanasy had three thousand gold pieces left.
