He was afraid and ran away thinking that the old castle was falling on him.
On his way home he met a man who was unknown to him. The man said "I am always dreaming of gold that is buried in the corner of a poor man's garden in Duagh under a cherry tree. It lies across that field and beyond the road. This happened to be Bill McEllepitts own garden.
