  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a crock of gold on Joe Whelans street in the town land of Lettergullion. One of the Whelans deamt of this three nights in succession. Then two of them said one day that they would dig for it. There were flat stones over it so when they lifted two of them a big blast of smoke arose and nearly blinded them so they put back the stones and never stirred them since.
