- My father told me a story about buried treasure. He said the treasure is hidden under a bush near the school is in two sieves. One sieve is full of gold and the other is full of silver. The treasure must be found by night. People went to look for it by night but one field near the school was guarded by soldiers. The soldiers were well armed with guns and supplied with ammunition. No one was allowed to enter the field by night.
