- A Hidden Treasure
There was an old woman and she had a great deal of money. She lived aobut two miles from Kildlakey. She had a niece and a nephew. When she was dying she put all her money into an old stuffed animal.
She gave the animal to the nephew. The nephew was expecting to get a sum of money. After she died the nephew got poor. The animal used to be always looking at him.
This day the nephew got angry and he gave the animal a kick abd broke it. A bag of gold rolled out of it. Then he saw what his aunt gave him.
