    One day a man who was out walking saw a gap where gold was found. He was coming towards it when he saw the clay crumble an then he saw three bars of gold. He passed by them and was filled with fear and walked slowly away. His name was Mick and he heard a voice calling 'Mick" three times, but he walked more quickly. He went home, went to bed and he never got up again. He died soon afterwards.
