  1. Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived with his wife and family. They were very happy indeed but the man thought he could be happier.
    One night he was in bed and he dreamt that under a little white-thorn bush in his farm, there was a crock of gold. In the morning when he got up he told his wife what he dreamt of. She said "Dont be foolish, man that is all your imagination." The next night came along and he dreamt of it again. He did not tell his wife this time but kept it to himself.
