  1. In our village there was a man called Martin Casey (R.I.P). This man dreamt of a pot of gold hidden beside a well he knew.
    He dreamt of this for three nights in succession and it was told to him in the dream that his uncle knew the place where it was and the time to go for it.
    One day however he went to his uncle and told him about the dream and that there was a cat watching the gold.
    His uncle came up to Martin's house and at 12 o clock at night they dug for the gold and got it.
