    (continued from previous page)
    protect themselves from the guardian, they brought with them a cock chicken which they killed on the particular spot. That left the woman without power when there was blood shed there.
    The young men dug from dark to midnight every night until they had a huge hole dug. After a week or so they quietly left it so. Whether the treasure is still there or not I do not know.
