  2. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    The people round Clara say that there is gold hidden under the Robber's Rock at the pond, Clara, Offaly.
    I think it is true. Some people have dug for it but no one has ever found it. I have been on top of the rock.
    There is a hole under it out to the other side. I have gone out under it.
    In the summer-time pople go to the rock for a pic-nic.
