Summary
A woman is injured in the forest when a tree falls and crushes her hand. Although her husband desperately tries to free her, he ultimately cuts off the damaged hand with an axe to save her life. The tragedy devastates her, and her husband responds by building an artificial replacement hand—only for her to insist it should be made of gold.
He succeeds in crafting her a golden hand, but the magical or unnatural gold causes her body to become infected. Eventually, she dies, leaving one final request: she wants to be buried with her golden hand.
Years later, the husband—now poor and struggling to survive—returns to her grave to dig it up for money. When he exposes the golden hand, her eyes suddenly open. He ignores it and carries the hand home. That night, the wife returns to reclaim her golden hand. Terrified, he hands it back, but the moment she has it, she turns on him and kills him.
