  2. Hidden Treasures

    Share Share Post
    About forty years ago three neighbors who lived in Moybella dreamed three nights in succession they would find gold in Rice's fort. They decided to dig for the gold. They started at midnight and worked till dawn without success. They went home but resumed their work until the next night. They were not long at work when three white mice appeared from under a flag and the flag can be seen this present day.
