  1. There is a treasure supposed to be hidden in a fort near my home. It was placed there by the fairies. The people who are living near the fort attempted to unearth it on several occasions. They did not get it. The treasure consists of a pot of gold. There was no gold discovered in my district. Nobody ever saw the treasure by eating certain food. A cat is supposed to mind the treasure. Occasionally lights are seen where the treasure is supposed to be buried.
