This is the title of Grimm's Fairy Tales No. 182, but similar tales are found in many parts of Ireland, as well as throughout Europe, Turkey, Iran, and India. A tailor and a goldsmith are traveling when on a moonlit night they come across some dwarves singing and dancing on a hill. At a signal from a large old man in the middle, the two join in. The old man then shaves off their hair and beards. They then receive some coal and return home, and the next morning it has turned to pure gold. The goldsmith is greedy and tries again, but when he looks the next morning, even the pure gold from the previous day has turned to coal.
