Hidden Treasure
“Once there lived in the west of County Clare a man named Muirisín Fóidre who dreamt that under Welesley Bridge in Limerick was hidden a crock of gold.”
Once there lived in the west of County Clare a man named Muirisín Fóidre who dreamt that under Welesley Bridge in Limerick was hidden a crock of gold. Without further delay he went to Limerick and when walking on the bridge he met a man who enquired his business to the city seeing his ragged appearance. Muirisín told him and then the man told him to go home as he himself dreamt there was god hidden under Muirisín Fóidre's hearth-stone. Muirisín went home delighted and dug under the hearth and he found the gold and he lived happily ever after.
