- A Hidden TreasureThere is an ancient church in our village and it is said that there is a pot of gold hidden in it. Long ago when St. Patrick was in Ireland he built this church. Someone gave him a present of a pot of gold. The gold was left in the church. When the church fell the gold was hidden. The people say it is hidden under the church and there is a cat minding it. If you dream of it three nights in succession you will get it. But the one that gets it will die or one out of his house.
