Hidden Treasure
14th July 1938
Once upon a time there lived in Bohogue in the parish of Balla, Co. Mayo two very old men named Peadhar and Shawn. They were brothers and they lived in a cabin in a bog. They went about begging from one village to another.
Everybody thought they were poor but under a hawthorn bush in a corner of a field near the cabin they had a pot of gold hidden. Shawn got sick and died. A month afterwards Peadhar died. Shortly after they were buried a man that lived in Tuam dreamt of the pot of gold. So he set out to see if he could find the ground he saw in his dream.
The people that lived in Bohogue saw the strange man every evening but didn't know what brought him there or where he came from.
However, the third day he set to work and dug up the pot of gold and brought it home with him.
