  2. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There was enchanted money buried in the Araglen ball alley in County Tipperary. It was hidden there by the fairies about two hundred years ago. There was an old woman minding it and she used to be smoking continuously. One day a smith had no tobacco and he badly needed a smoke.
    When he saw the old woman smoking he ran to her for some tobacco. She gave it to him and all the money that was hidden in the valley also.
