    (continued from previous page)
    old man said "give me my pot of gold that you stole from me, or if you do not I will tell the "wee folk" to take my pot of gold from you by majic power".
    With that the giant said "I have none of your pot of gold", then the old man stood thinking for a while, and then he said "it must have been the "wee folk" that have taken it".
    Then the old man went home very sorry, and the next morning when he got up he found his pot of gold sitting in a large plate on the table.
    It is said that the place where the large rock was moved from filled up with water, and formed a small lake.
