    Latin. The poor scholar told the farmer that the words were "look on the other side of the bush and you will get the same". The farmer went out and he dug on the other side of the bush and he got another big pot of gold and he brought it in and he was rich ever after that. I heard this from Miss Mary Bea Berry, Knappa, Westport.
