- In days gone by the people were different in their ways to what they are at the present day.
The people now-a-days would not dream of doing what they did then.
About three miles from where I live is a beautiful demesne called Warrens-Cout where there are situated some beautiful lakes. Not far from those lakes is supposed to be a hidden treasure which consists of three pots of gold.
These pots are supposed to be guarded by a roaring bull with rattling chains.
Several people have tried to dig for those pots; but failed, as the bull would appear and chase them away.
So we are told even to this very day the pots of gold are there and guarded by this ferocious animal (the bull).
