  1. About eighty years ago when my grandmother was alive. One day a woman very pecular dressed. And she told her if she went out early next morning and lift a certain stone right under the window she would be sure to get a crook of gold beside a lone bush and the bush stands to this very day. And she said if she did not obey her she would die at an early age, but she did not look for it ans she died at an early age.
