  1. Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a little village situated near Tulsk. People say it was a lucky one. In this village there is a fort or a líos. A crock of gold was found there.
    An old proverb says:-
    "Dream of money on a May morn and you are sure to get it". A certain man dreamt one night that he was standing on this fort and a red haired woman came to him and said. "Tomorrow before day break come here and dig beneath yonder tree and you shall find it.
    Early next morning he went with a spade and dug beneath the tree and got a crock of gold amounting to three thousand pounds. The man returned safely
