One night he dream't that there was a pot of gold buried in Quilca beside the lake. He came home and started digging the spot where he saw the gold in his dream. But when reached the [Crossed out: spot] pot there was a fierce animal sitting on top of it. He went away and came back the next day with a few men and a gun. The place was closed up again. When opened up the hole the animal was still there. When the men saw it they ran away with fear.
