  1. Folklore - Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There is a crock of gold hidden in a field which belongs to my father. The gold was hidden years there about one hundred years ago. It was hidden by a man whose name is not known. It was hidden under a lone bush. The real bush is not known because many young trees grew up around it. Many men dug for the crock of gold but they did not get it, because they did not dig under the bush that the gold was hidden under. The field that the gold is hidden in is a long way from my house.
