“On the road to Timoleague there was a house built in a field.”
On the road to Timoleague there was a house built in a field. The man that owned the house dug up the ground to sink a pump. When he dug six feet, there was some gold in the centre of stones and some of the stones were tinged with gold. He did not like to touch the stones and he filled in the hole again. He dug another hole but he did not find any gold in that hole.
