  1. There is a hidden treasure in a place called "meen" in Lecamy. It was hidden about a hundred years ago by a man called Taig.
    It was a horn of gold. He hid it because he was afraid his family would spend it foolish.
    When he was dying his family took him to the street and asked him where he hid the gold. He pointed out the place where it was hid. After he died they looked for the horn of gold. They never got it. It is there yet and it might be got.
