    The hidden treasure consists of a Chest of Gold.
    People tried to get the Chest of Gold but they did not succeed. The took lighted candles with them and they had not gone far into the cave when the candles went out and they came back. There is supposed to be a hundred and twenty steps into the cave but the people can only go down sixty steps. There is music to be heard round the cave now.
