  1. A short distance from my home there lived a boy many years ago. He went to America when he was young.
    When he was dying a priest came to him. The man told the priest that there was a box of jewels hidden in one of his fathers fields in Ireland. The priest sent word to the mans friends in Ireland but nobody ever looked for it.
