    (continued from previous page)
    One day, they were talking about their dreams and they decided to dig for the treasure.
    They dug and dug until they found the pot-hooks. Under it, they found the stone, and written on it was
    "If any person lifts this stone, there shall be a life lost."
    When the old man and woman saw that, they would not take up the stone. They put back the earth again, and the hole they made is still to be seen.
