“Long ago there was a hidden treasure on top of a mountain called Sarú. ...”
Long ago there was a hidden treasure on top of a mountain called Sarú. It was said that if any man would go to the place [?] three nights he would get the pot of gold. One night three men set out for the place. When they found it they began digging and digging but they could not find it. They went again on the second night and they could not find it. Again on the following night they went to the same place. At about midnight a roaring bull came along and made an attempt to attack them but the men fled in fear and never again went there.
