“There lived in Tyrone an old man named Seán Mac Airgid.”
There lived in Tyrone an old man named Séan Mác Aírgid. He had so much money that if he never died he would not have it spent. Séan was afraid that he might be robbed. So he (hid) put all the gold into a box, and hid it all under the ground. Every day Séan used to go to the spot where the money was hid. But as he went so often the people knew that he had something hidden there. They told two men about it. These two men went to the spot, and dug up the box, and took it away. Next day Séan had saved another pound and he went to hide it again. When he went there and found the pit open he collapsed, and with the fright he died. - Collector
