One time long ago, three men set out to this wood, to dig for the golden chain.When they came to the wood, they saw a big tree. They thought the chain was under this tree. They rooted the tree, and began to dig.When they dug for a while, they thought they hears chains rattling, down far in the ground. They were digging for hours, but would not get the chain.At last they stopped digging, and went home. It is still said, that the man who will dig there, for two or three weeks, may find the golden chain.
