  1. Story - The Hidden Treasure

    Share Share Post
    There once lived a man in
    Cooldaniel and he dreamt one night
    that there was gold hidden in his land.
    When he woke next morning he went
    immediately to dig for it. He kept on
    diging until dinner time, and then
    he went to his dinner. After dinner, he
    set off again to dig for it. He was not
    long digging when he found an empty
    pot. When he found this he became
    very angry and broke the pot. Someone
    came when he was at dinner and took
    the gold out of the pot. The same man
    lost one hand on breaking the pot.
