- (continued from previous page)in the part of the country that is called Dunbin. He was simple and did many foolish deeds. One day he was working in a field with his brother, they were gathering waist grass with graips. He happened to stick the graip in the ground and he heard the noise of gold pieces. Just them they were called to their dinner and he stuck the graip in this spot. After his dinner he told his mother to take out a large sack, he dug the ground and he found a pot of gold coins and gold bars hidden there and a large flagstones underneath it. They took it home and the pot was hanging in the house where everyone could see it.
