    The Guarded Treasure
    There was once a man living in Curragh and he also worked there. One night he had a dream that in the field adjoining the house was a treasure buried and that he was to go next day and find the treasure.
    Next day he went to see this place and soon discovered the spot he had dreamed of. He began to dig and was just come upon a hard stone slab. He then set to work to get up the stone when there came a noise in the air and looking up he beheld a huge blue bull with fiery eyes hovering over him.
