  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    On the top of the hill in Derrica a cave is supposed to go a long distance under the ground.
    In this cave a crock of gold is supposed to be hidden. A fire is supposed to be burning in the middle of the cave. I think nobody ever tried to unearth the treasure.
    One night a man was crossing the hill and he saw a goose standing over the place where the cave is supposed to open.
