    Hidden Treasure
    Long ago people used to hide gold in several places. In our fort there is an-under ground passage which is full up with gold. Some men attempted to get some of the gold but failed. They go two trunks of gold but on carrying it home one of the trunks fell and broke two of the men's legs. The rest of the men ran home, and died shortly after getting there. A women took sticks out of it, and brought them home and she went off for more but when she came back her son was burned in the fire.
