- A priest was reading mass and was followed by some enemies long ago. He made his escape and got to read mass then, and many times at a place now called Poulatresien.
It is said that there are three strands of gold there and it is when mass is being said it will be found.
It is an eel that is minding the gold and a life is to be lost at the getting of it.
The person must have a black cock and when the eel is seen the head is to be cut off the cock.
It is not known whether it is the cock's or the person's life is to be taken before the gold is got as no one ever looked for it yet.- Informant
