“One night a man had a dream in which he was directed to go to a tree on the side of the road...”
(continued from previous page)are going to dig for it now.
James and his son set out for the tree. He told his son about what the neighbour said and about what he told the neighbour.
"We can go home" said the son. We will find nothing since you have told anybody about the dream.
When they came to the tree they saw three little men dressed in red running from it with their pockets full.
They disappeared into a hole in the ground beside a thistle. They dug beside the tree and after a while they found a small pot with a lid on it. They took off the lid. The pot was empty. In the bottom there was a piece of paper. The words "Mind your own business in future" were written on it.Michael Gerard O'Hara
