- One night three men dreamt of a crock of gold being under the ground. The following morning when the men got up they got ready to dig for the gold. After they digging for three days they found a big flat stone and it took three days more to get up the stone And there was another big flat stone under the stone they took out. It took three more days to lift that one. They could only see a big hole then. The next night they dreamt that they should dig ten feet more to get the gold. So they dug away till they met another flat stone. One of the men "we will never lift that stone". After three days they lifted the stone and got the crock of gold. They divided the money and became rich men.
