    chains into the water as he had been told in his dream.These chains were to catch in the ears of the pot of gold which he supposed was on the bottom.
    Then he began to pull on the horse and the pot of gold started to drag after him.
    He was not to speak a word from the start till he would finish. This man was a very bad curser. When he had the pot near the bank and the pot began to hop from stone to stone. The man was very excited and cried out. "Oh by he Heaven the pot will be broken"
    At that very minute the pot fell back into the water again, and the man lost the pot of gold.
    So he promised that he would never curse again.
