Treasure Story

A man named Patrick Dolan dreamt three nights after another that there was a pot of gold hidden under a pile of stones beside the old Prison in this village.
After he ate his breakfast on the third day he got a spade and began to search for it. He searched for it a long time, but it was all in vain.
At last he came on a flag and he thought that the treasure was surely hidden under it.
He got the flag up in haste but alas- all he found was an old book which was so black that he could not read it. He went home broken hearted when he did not find the treasure.
