    a flag which he lifted and found a pot of gold under it.He brought in the flag and left it by the fire. There was something written on the flag, and the man did not know how to read it, but a poor scholar came in one day and read what was written on the flag, namely that the other side of the bush was twice as good. So the next day the man dug the other side of the bush and got two pots of gold.
