  1. There was once a traveller and he went into a shop when he went in he noticed a jar upon the shelf of the shop and he saw something written on it in Irish, then he asked the shopkeeper where he got this jar and he said he didn't know where it came from but that it was there for years and that they didn't like to throw it out then the traveller told them to dig in their garden where a lot of bushes were growing and so they dug where the bushes were growing and they found a pot of gold the very same as that.
