    A Hidden Treasure
    There is a pot of gold hidden in Michael Guihen's field Tromfrawn, Ariana. It was placed there by the Danes and thee is a hare watching it. The people of the house went out to unearth it and when they were about to start a thunder storm came and they had to go back. A person has to dream of it three times and tell nobody before he can get it. They also have to kill the hare.
