    Once upon a time Mick Kennedy came to repair Shannon's house and he took down a part of the wall. As he was taking down the wall he saw a little box and he went for Mr Shannon and Mr Shannon came and Tome Roche came with him and Mr Shannon was taking the box out and Tom Roche said "Take it out easy James". And instead of gold there were three old turf in the box.
