    neighbour of the last generation dreamed three nights in succession of this gold. He was forbidden to speak to any person whilst he was digging. He was also told to give some food to the eel that was guarding it. He went to dig underneath the tree. But whilst he was digging a neighbour passed and blessed his work and after that all future labour was in vain.
