- Once upon a time there was a man who
lived in Croghan in the Co. Roscommon
and he dreamed two nights that there were
ten crocks of gold in a little hill
near Cloonloo.He gathered ten of his friends and
set off for the hill. They went in a
horse and cart and got to the hill
about two o'clock in the morning. They
dug and dug till daybreak. Then they
came upon some sparkling little objects
which got brighter and larger as they
dugThey were almost loose when out
from the ground came ten weasels
with razors in their mouths who attacked
the man and his nine friends. They
ran for their lives down the hill
and the weasels after them(continues on next page)
