  1. Tales of Buried Treasure.
    My father told me there is a Treasure hidden in one of our fields on the farm.
    He said that a man named Swan hid it.
    My father dug for it many a day but he never found it.
    He said it was a garden at one time and this man had his house built on it; when he was dying he buried it in the field.
    It was said that the Gold was wrapped in a foal's skin.
    It is said that the Gold was hidden so that the people might search for it.
