Peter Paul Rubens, the famous Flemish painter, was knighted by King Charles I of England because he could not pay Rubens his $15,000 fee for painting a ceiling. John Chapman made a trip to London because he had dreamed that the trip would bring him a buried treasure. On the way, he stopped to ask a stranger for directions. When he confided his dream, the stranger scoffed at his story, remarking, £if I believed in dreams, I'd be on my way to Swatham because I dreamed there's a treasure buried there in the garden of a man named Chapman£. Upon hearing this, Chapman hurried home and found two treasure crocks buried there, right in his own garden. Believe It or Not!
