“Once there lived in Ireland a man who had dreamt several times hat if he went to London and stood on the bridge there that he would find a pot of gold.”
(continued from previous page)The Englishman replied "You foolish man go home. I dreamt that if I went to Ireland and dug down two feet near a small tree which grew at the back of a small thatched Cabin that I would find a can of gold".
From the description the Irishman guessed that it was his own house.
Home he came again, dug around the tree, found the can of gold, and lived happily ever after.
