    they heard a strange rumbling noise and suddenly they beheld a huge serpent coming towards them. The three men turned to flee but the serpent was too quick for them and he caught one of the men and killed him.
    About three weeks after this one of the two men who had escaped the serpent came to this bush only to find the pit covered in.
    The people were so frightned at this incident that they never looked for the treasure again, but some people believe it to be still there.
