    know which thistle was the right one. There is a cave in a field belonging to Mr Rock and there is supposed to be hidden treasure there. Once upon a time a man went and tried to get this treasure. When he came to the cave a dazzling light met his eyes and so he could not get down to get the treasure. This certain cave contains a boot of gold.
