- In years gone by a farmer named Fitzpatrick from Gurtrush dreamt every night for months that he would find his fortune on London Bridge. So at last he went to London and was walking up and down all day and night. When a stranger came to him and asked him why he was walking on the bridge every day he told him about the dream he had so the man told him to go home and he would find a crock of gold under an old tree in his own haggard and he did find it and all went well for some time.
He gave high education to his children and made one a Priest but in the end he was a poor man.
