- There is a treasure hidden in the
bhurch Well in Iisrara. There is a
pot of gold in the well and there
is a flat stone over it. There is
an eel minding it.
Before this treasure can be got
three men must dream of it the same
night. They must go together the
next day day and bring with them
a red culture. They must cut
the eel on two with the iron.
If they do not succeed one of them
will be killed. People often went to
get the treasure but when they came
to the well they got afraid.
It is said the treasure was hidden
by the danes.
