    gold would be underneath him. People often went looking for it but never found it.
    One night a man had a dream about this gold. The following day he went looked for it. He began digging for gold a bull ran after him but he got stuck in a rock and the print of his leg is plain to be seen to this day.
    It is said that a bull and a turkey cock are guarding the gold and will let no one take it so that it will remain there for ever.
