  1. A Pot of Gold

    Share Share Post
    Long ago it was revealed to a man in Lissycasey that a pot of gold was hidden in a field.
    He went to the field with a few other men. They dug around the place the man dreamed of.
    They searched for the gold day after day. After long searching they heard a great noise.
    They thought it was like a bellow of a bull. They got very frightened and they ran away. They thought that the bull was minding the gold and nobody has ventured to search for it ever since.
