- Two men heard that there was gold hidden in Knockfierna. Only one man went for the gold. When the man dug for the gold he got only a bag of flies. The man carried the bag of flies to the other man's house and put it under the door. When the man got up in the morning he found a bag of gold instead of the bag of flies.
