  1. There is an old castle quite near my home, the Connor's built it about two hundred years ago. It is said that there is a crock of gold stored up, deep down in the floor of the building Five men came to it one day, about seventy years ago and dug hard for one day, but soon they lost courage, and they went away, and it was never found.
