    he got a big trunk. It consisted of lovely story books gold watches, set of pipes and a bag of coins. Every night a cat was seen just lying on the very spot where the treasure was got and lights were seen there also. This man never lived to enjoy the treasure. It is said one night as he came in from looking at the cattle a cat jumped up and put her nails in his throat so he died in ten hours. This was supposed to be the cat that watched the treasure.
