    Long ago in olden times their lived a clergyman in Co Donegal in the parish of Inver and he had a lot of gold. Their was not many Banks in Ireland and he had to hide the gold. Some time after that the clergyman died. His house was sold and a man named James Lintle bought it. One day when he was digging his spade struck a big stone he turned up the the stone and found buried under the stone a big crock of gold. He hid the gold in the house untill the next day. He started to dig the next day and he dug untill night came and gave up hope of finding any more.
