There was once a Welshman whose name was Gwyn. He decided to see
the capital of England and one day went to London. He took with him a
staff of hazel, which helped him to walk. In the city an old man caught him
by the arm and asked, “Excuse me, but from where did you come?" “From
Wales," answered Gwyn. “Can you tell me where the hazel tree from which
this staff is made is?" “it is in the field near my home,” said Gwyn. “I can make you a rich man, because under that tree there is a lot of gold and
silver. Can you take me there?” asked the old man.
Gwyn was poor and he needed money. So he decided to take the old
man to the field. They pulled out the tree, moved a big stone, which was
under the tree, and saw a tunnel and a large cave in the end of it. They
went down and came to a big bell. “Never touch the bell,” said the old
man. When they came to the cave, Gwyn was greatly surprised because he
saw sleeping soldiers with their swords and shields near them. in the centre
of the cave there were gold and silver coins.
“Who are these sleeping men?" asked Gwyn.
“King Arthur and his soldiers," answered the old man, “sleeping here
century after century, until Wales has need of them.”
