  1. A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    About thirty years ago not far from my home there lived an old man all alone. When he died after some time the house fell. A friend of his was carting away the old walls. Under a flag near the hearth stone he found a small tin box. He opened it and found fifty gold sovereigns in it. The deceased man may have placed them there. No further attempts have been made to seek for more treasure in that place. They got fifty pieces of gold.
