  1. Once upon a time there lived a man in Collcuil and he dreamed that there was a pot of gold Hugh Reid's garden in Autawalla. He came to dig it up but when he came to the Hangman's Bridge he got afraid to go any further, and he went home again. Two other men went to dig it. One of them was not a bit afraid but the other man went home. There is a bush over it and it is there still.
