  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time a man dreamt three nights after another that gold was supposed to be hidden under a big stone in Martin Connor's mountain in Breichig: This night he got two or three other men and they came to the stone with a lantern light. They split the sone in two pieces, about three inches apart. The three men tried best to shift the rock but it failed them. One of the men found his shoulder getting sore and they went away without getting anything.
