    (continued from previous page)
    other night that if I cam to the Bridge of Limerick I would get my fortune so that's what has me here", he said. "God bless your foolish head", says the other man. "I dreamed myself the other night that there was a pot of gold in Pat Murphy's garden behind a bush in a placed called Lorgan, a place I never heard off. "If that is the case I will go home and never give heed to dreams again". When he got home he took his spade and dug for the pot of gold in his own garden and found the pot of gold in it. From that day to the day he died he was a rich and happy man.
