Kow by Jo Clement
When Christy finds a bag full of money hidden in the woods she believes her luck has changed
An argument between a couple living on the edge of poverty leads to the discovery of a duffel bag full of cash. Or does it? This original short story for Radio 4 revives the Northumberland myth of the Hedley Kow and asks if money really can solve everything. What鈥檚 the difference between need and desire? Appearances can be deceiving.
