    was heard miles away. When the women heard the first roar they ran for the nearest house.
    Some time after another man dreamt of the same pot of gold and that if he went to the place and dug for it he would get it. He did not go until the middle of the next day. There was no sign of the cat so he began digging as fast as he could. After a long time he found the empty pot that the gold was supposed to be in. So that put an end to the story.
