  1. Once there was a man and one night he had a dream. In the dream he was told that there was gold hidden in a height in his land. About twelve o'clock the next night two other men and he went to the place. They dug down deep and when they were near the gold turkeys flew at them. They went off home and none of them but one would come the next night and he would not come alone. So the hidden treasure was never found.
