    6-12-37 Hidden Treasure
    Once upon a time they were a family who lived in Gowran some years ago (there) their names were were the O'Harahs. They dreamt one night about a crock of gold being in a Churchyard. They said they would go in search of it. And if they got it they were to be one life lost over it and another of them was to be a lordy so they made it out and they lived and spent it for years after.
