  1. A Funny Story - A Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    Once there was a man who had a dream about a pot of gold being buried in Inismagrath Island. He dreamt three times about it and he knew the exact spot where to find it.
    He went to the place on the third day, and dug away until the pot came in sight but he failed in the effort to get it out. He saw an old witch and a big cat watching it, and the would not let him near the pot of gold.
    He was very much frightened and ran home and never looked for it again.
