　　The mother of the child wanted to test how lucky the Silver Shilling was， to see if the Silver Shilling was the true ‘lucky amulet’. The mother put the Silver Shilling into vinegar， which turned it green， closed up the hole of the Silver Shilling， and rubbed it carelessly to make it look as if there was no hole， she waited until it got dark， and than she bought a lottery ticket in exchange for the Silver Shilling.

　　There were so many people buying lottery tickets at the ticket box that no one recognized the hole in the Silver Shilling. The next morning， the Silver Shilling was proved as an imitation， and again， the Silver Shilling had to continue her journey deceiving other people. For one year and one day， the Silver Shilling wandered from one hand to another， and one wallet to another.

　　For that time， the Silver Shilling lost her faith that she was a real coin. One day， she was in one traveler‘s hand and heard that she was an imitation again. The traveler fingered the Silver Shilling and muttered to himself， “I got this coin as change.”

　　The traveler looked at the Silver Shilling carefully and said with a big bright smile. “What， this is a silver shilling from my country. Someone made a hole on this precious and real silver coin and tried to make it look like an imitation. That’s interesting. I will keep this carefully and bring it home.”

　　This traveler was the owner who let the Silver Shilling travel around the world with other foreign coins before. When the Silver Shilling heard that she was a precious and real silver coin， she was very happy. The traveler wrapped the Silver Shilling up with soft and white paper and kept it carefully separate from other foreign coins.

　　The Silver Shilling came back to her hometown where everybody knows that she was made of pure silver and that the engraving on her body was the portrait of the King. Even though there was a hole in her body， it was not important for the real Silver Shilling. The Silver Shilling‘s journey of pain and ordeal ended there teaching her ’the triumph of justice‘.
