An abandoned well
Inside a forest
Attached to an old temple
There was no water for centuries
As it was filled with earth over the time
Astrologers predicted that there is a hidden treasure
Beneath the layers of the earth in the well
Some treasure hunters left behind the tools
Besides the heaps of earth, they removed
From the well, might be in dismay
The natives were amused to see water
During their lifetime in this well
Native temple devotees see no reason
To dig the well again for water
It might have taken so many days
To remove that much earth from the well
Police are now looking for the culprits
It seems that the treasure hunters failed
In finding the treasure in the well
The well is attracting curious visitors now
