    Hidden Treasures
    There is supposed to be gold hidden up in the mountain in a little valley, near the Giant's grave at Carageen.
    One day, a few men went to dig for this gold, and when they dug down a bit, they found a box. They drew it up, and a ball of fire flew out of it, and rolled down the hill and into the river. Then the men were afraid to see if there was any-thing else, in the box, because they were afraid some-thing would happen to them, if they did.
