  1. (continued from previous page)
    found that it was a crock of gold. A man with long hair came out of the rath to him. He told him not to attempt to take it. He went home without it. He told his story to friend. He asked him to go with him to the rath again.
    They went to the place, and found the crock of gold.
    The main who found it first took it home with him. He locked it in a press before he went to bed. When he got up in the morning he opened the press to count the gold but it was gone.
