   There was once a very old man who was living in the middle of a for in Greenmount. He saw a little man with a red cat. He was always digging at the wall looking for gold. One bright night the old man saw the little man with the red cap taking bits of earth out of the hole and he went down to the river and washed the earth and turned into gold. He put it into a little bad and he went off to the fort at the top of the hill. He stuck his spade in the ground and left the gold in a safe corner.
