Once upon a time a man named Pat Connolly had the same dream as his wife for each of three nights after other. They dreamt that there was a pot of gold hidden under a whitethorn bush that was growing in a field on their own farm. On the fourth day the man and his wife made up their minds to go to this place when it got dark with two spades and started dig. Suddenly a red light flashed on them and they ran home. They went back the second night and the same thing happened. They tried again the third night and got the gold which them rich ever after.
