  2. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Two men were working on a farm in Mount Loftus a long time ago; on day they were cleaning a drain and they saw a flag. They took it up and there was a pan of gold under it. When they were at their dinner they told the man whom they were working with how they found a pan of gold in the field. The man then claimed the gold because it was on his land; he gave nothing to one man and he only gave the other man enough money to go to America.
