  1. In a field near our house is a bush which is said there is a treasure under. The old people believed if any person dremt three nights in succession about the treasure he could dig up three treasures.
    A man dremt twice in succession about the treasures, and he would not wait to dreame the third night. He went to the field, but before he had dug much a black cat come out from under the bush and folowed him home.
