  2. Buried Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a treasure buried in the Big Field. Mr Brien owns the field. It is hidden under a big stone in the middle of the field. Nobody ever tried to find it. There was a fairy seen sitting on the stone with a lamp. It is supposed to be gold coins. It was hidden by the druids. It was hidden because an army from England wanted to get it.
