    the big stone, a rabbit would run out from it, and he adds that in after time, when he himself was able to plough, the same thing happened every year he ploughed the field. He often says in fun that the gold must be buried under that stone, and the rabbit must be a fairy one which is guarding the hidden treasure. Whatever about the fairies, the large stone is still in the corner of the field, and has defied all attempts to remove it.
