    The Gruggens
    There is a field in Drogheda and it is covered with little trees. Long ago the rich people who lived in Drogheda would hide their money in this field. They were afraid when the war was on that their money would be taken on them so they hid it in this field. Each one planted a tree over where their money was so that they would know where it was and that is why there are so many little trees in this field.
