“There was an old castle near the place where I was born. Now there was supposed to be a hidden treasure in this castle but no one had ever found it.”
There was an old castle near the place where I was born. Now there was supposed to be a hidden treasure in this castle but no one had ever found it. There was a very poor farmer living in Passage, a small village about a mile from the castle. Now for three nights this man dreamt that there were crocks of gold hidden in it.
So one day he went and dug up the ground in the castle where he had dreamt the crocks were hidden. He found a few crocks but there was no gold in them. But though the crocks were earthenware but the money the man got for them made him rich for the rest of his life. His great-grandson is now living in the old farm.
