- Once upon a time there lived a man and he dreamed that there was a pot of gold under a bush and that there was a flag over it. He went to the place and began to reach his hand down to lift the gold up but there was a fish minding it and when he reached down his hand to take the pot of gold the fish began to get long, and every time he reached down his hand the fish would open his mouth to swallow him. He got afraid and left the pot of gold there, and it is there.
