  1. A long time ago two men were knocking a wall in some old cabin. Suddenly one of them was throwing out earth and he found a small little box made of steel. It was shining brightly. They tried to open it without breaking it. At last they had to break it, and to their great surprise they found two grand knives made of gold.
    Nothing was written on them. The man who found them gave one of them to the other. One morning both men brought the knives to Limerick. They sold them to a shopkeeper for fifty pounds each.
