  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There was a certain family in the County Kilkenny many years ago, and each day a rat used to come in. The people of the house got afraid of the rat, and they used to feed it. One day the rat came in, dragging a big bag of gold, and the people kept the gold.
