Hidden TreasureLong ago there lived a man in our parish. One night he dreamt of a crock of gold which lay hidden under a stone on the bridge of Limerick. So he went and he was a week searching for the gold and a man met him and said."What are you looking for" and he said, a crock of gold and the man said. Go home and have sense. So he went home and searched his own garden and dug for it and got it under an apple tree. John Joe Shea. -----
It is not right to break a mirror because you would have seven years bad luck.
It is not right to cut a lone bush because it belongs to the fairies and a death will follow.
It is not right to build an addition on the west side of a house.
