    There was a certain house and every night there used to be a bull heard roaring around it. It was said there was gold hidden there and that the bull was minding it. One night the man of the house had a dream, that there was gold hidden in a certain field under a stone. Early in the morning he went to the place with five or six other men. When they had the stone dug they heard a bull roaring, they looked around and saw a bull running towards them.
