Long ago two men went out on a field to break a big stone, when they began to break it a witch appeared to them and said "do not take that stone from that field." "Go about your business" said one of the men. It was not long until they came home with two swelled eyes and went to bed. It was not long until the witch appeared to them again and said "If ye may have done what I said, ye would not be like this. I will cure ye now if ye will not go near the stone again." After a week one cow got killed, and they never went near the stone again.(no title)

She went out, and when she came the fairies said "dig three feet under the ground and you will get it". She dug three feet under the ground as they told her, and she got it. Then when she was going home she put the crock of gold in hide. She went in home, and when she got up in the morning before she went to school.
