    the other side of the bush.
    The next morning the man went to the same place and dug the other side of the bush. He got another pot of gold and he was rich ever after.
    The Danes were supposed to have hidden treasures. No body ever found out where the treasures were.
    Fairies would give you the treasures if you would catch them and ask them where they were. A black pig or an eel is supposed to watch the hidden treasures. Lights have been seen in the townland of Tullyloughlan. There is a hidden treasure there. It is an eel that is watching it.
