    (continued from previous page)
    There is a black cat beside the flag and you must be sure to kill it. Then lift the flag and under it you will see a coffin with a ring hanging on one end of it. Lift the coffin and put the ring in on the traces and draw it home.
    When you go home open the coffin and you will find it full of gold and you will never want for anything for the rest of your life.
    The man went back, but when he was home and all he hadn't the courage to dig the Bawn so he never got the riches.
