    One night a man dreamt of a pot of gold. He dreamt the same the second night and the third. So he went to look for the pot of gold. He dug very deep. He found the pot of gold. There was an ell twisted round the pot of gold. The man was told in the dream to throw a stone at the ell. He did not do what he was told. Then the sky got very dark. and the man could not find the pot of gold. he went home empty-handed.
