- A story
One time two men dreamed of a crock of gold in a place called love Island in Quilca. In a night after they went to dig for it about ten o'clock at night.
When they had it stripped there was a big black cat lying on the crock of gold about as big as a dog.
Then the lake was covered with boats and big light on them. The men ran away and the people say that the big cat got in and put clay on it. Because when the men went back in the morning the hole was closed.
