    minding the treasure.
    One night a man was going home from the village of Puckane. He had to pass through the Turret field. He saw a light in the Turret. He went over and saw a litlle black man on the place where the gold is supposed to be. He was holding a key in one hand and a large key in the other. The man stayed watching the elf for some time.
    Then the elf put the key down towards the ground. The shape of a door appeared in the ground. He turned the door with the key.
    Instantly the man saw the elf disappear candle and all. The door disappeared and then the man walked home.
