- There was a man long ago and he dreamt that a pot of gold was buired in Coís, and tomorrow he rose and got two men, and they went to Coís. They dug down, and they didint get the gold. Anyway they came in again and the same man dreamt that he was very near to it but that he would have to bring another man with him. The second night they went out and they brought another man with them. The dug down until they came to a slat, but it was two late in the night to take up the stone. They came in again that night and the same man dreamt that the gold was under the slat, but that one of the men would have to lose their life. When he rose in the morning and told the men about his dream so they didint go out anymore.
