- Some year ago Mary Kate Walsh told h er brothers to dig up the white thorn tree that was at the back of the house and that they would find a pot of gold. her brothers did not believe that there was any gold under the tree. But a last they said they would dig up the tree and that it would be great if they found the gold. They started to dig the gold. At the same time she was doing something at the fire and she fell in and was burned to death. The brothers stopped their digging and rushed in.
