    Spade and pick soon uncovered a large piece of ground. When this was done they heard the sounf of footsteps coming towards them. But the dreamer who knew what was going to happen fled with his life, but the other stood his ground and awaited the result. Taking a good hold on his stick, he swung it downwards for the guardian's head, but he dropped unconsious to the ground. Shortly afterwards when help came they found him bleeding from where a piece of overhanging stone had fallen on his head because he broke away from the directions that were given to him in the dream.
