One day there were men picking potatoes in Freinnstown. They had an ass with them for carrying in the potatoes. When it was time for dinner the woman of the house called them. When they were coming in they tied the ass to a window. When then came out he had a plank stripped. They rooted it up and they found the crock of gold.
