  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There was a man digging in his field one day and he met a flag and underneath the flag he found a crock of gold. He went into the house to tell his wife about the crock of gold. Before he went in he tied a string to a noinin in the field and when they both came out there was a string in every noinin in the field and he could not find his crock of gold. His wife said that he was a foolish man not to bring the crock of gold with him at first.
