There's a dure an' it is the shape of an "A" an' it is full up o' goold. Begob a man, the giant was able to fasten the dure from the inside so that when he would go away the people would'nt get in to take the goold. Begor a man wan day the people went to stale the goold an' when they were nt able to get in they left blood hounds outside the cave. The giant came and shut them in the cave, an' it is said that they are there still.
