He dreamt three nights in succession if he went to London Bridge that there was money hidden there.

The third day a man noticed him, and he asked him what he was looking for, he told him he dreamt that he would get money on the bridge, and the other man told him that he was a fool to believe it, that he himself dreamt that he would get money in Ireland under an elder tree, which happened to be growing near the man's house.
