- Once St. Patrick was passing by here, and he found a lump of gold, and he did not know the value of it. He met a tinker with a load of scrap iron and he asked him was it any good. The tinker said it was useless and threw it into the cart. St. Patrick said he would not let him get away as easy as that, so he took it back again.
Then he met a blacksmith who told him that it was very valuable. St. Patrick told him that it was very good to tell the truth, and that he would be rich, while the tinker would be always poor.
