    Hidden Treasure
    Once upon a time there lived in a little house under Turlong in Kilcummin two men they were giants. They were very poor. Their farm had been taken from them by rich people.
    This night one of them dreamed that if he went to where there was a fort that he would get gold. They did not mind until he dreamed of it three times. They they made up their minds to look for it. They were told in the dream that they would not get it until a certain hour of the night and that and that night to be Friday night.
