    Well you asked me for a story; here is one.

    (continued from previous page)
    no one ever dug them, so I do not know when it is after raining for some time the grass over these graves is far greener than other parts of the field.
    When the weather is dry, this grass withers. I suppose the Danes buried this money there, and never came back for it again.
    These treasures are buried under flags.
