Version 3: Who's Got My Golden Arm?
Once upon a time, a long time ago, there lived a beautiful young woman. Her beauty was so legendary that she could woo any man who came into contact with her. She had many admirers. But she also had many enemies.
The other women were jealous of her beauty. It is said that one of them cut off one of her arms to prevent her from winning over any other men.
Her father, who was a very wealthy man, created for her a beautifully crafted arm made out of solid gold. It was worth a fortune.
One day, a man came into town. He wooed the young woman and won her over. That night, while she was asleep, he attempted to steal her arm but she woke up. He murdered her before actually stealing it.
After this, he left town. He decided to stay in an inn for the night as he was very tired. He was awoken in the middle of the night by a ghostly voice wailing, "Who's got my golden arm? Who's got my golden arm?"
He burrowed under his blankets and pretended not to hear the wailing, thinking he was imagining it from a guilty conscience.
Then...louder....
"Who's Got My Golden Arm?!"
And louder....
"WHO'S GOT MY GOLDEN ARM?!?!"
He clutched the blankets close to him, terrified, as he heard....
"YOU GOT IT!!"
The next morning, the innkeeper rushed up to the man's room to find he had died of fright!
