** It pealtsje fan Easterlittens (Het paaltje van Oosterlittens)
The Easterlittens peg
In Easterlittens once lived a poor shoemaker, who used to dream
of being rich. Then one night he dreamed that if he were to go to the Papenbrug
in Amsterdam, he'd find his fortune. The next morning, after kissing his
wife, he set off for Amsterdam. And there for three days he wandered to
and fro over the Papenbrug. Then a beggar asked him: "Hey! Why do you keep
hanging around?"
"Well, I dreamed I would find my fortune at the Papenbrug." "Man,
dreams are deceptions," said the beggar: "I've been dreaming for three
nights now, that a treasure lies buried under a peg in a shoemaker's bleach-field
in Oosterlittens. But it's just a dream!"
The shoemaker went home as fast as he could, and immediately dug
out the peg. And sure enough, under it lay a large iron kettle full of
silver pieces. He was rich!
Eventually, he and his wife decided they wouldn't tell anyone where
their wealth came from, but they did replace the peg with a decorated stone
pole. And if nobody moved it, it should be there still.
There is a new municipality in the Province of Friesland - Waadhoeke,
proclaimed on 01.01.2018. It consists of the former municipalities of
Franekeradeel, het Bildt, Menameradiel and parts of Littenseradiel, which all
were dissolved on the same date.

Hennaarderadeel - Hinnaerderadiel was southeast of Franeker, an agricultural
region. Municipal seat: Wommels. It was part of the old region of Westergo
and in the middle ages suffered under the fights between the Schieringers
and Vetkopers, as well as under the 'Donia-wars' (15th century).
The municipal flag was adopted 28 June 1963 and was abolished 1984,
when the municipality became part of Littenseradeel. Description: Blue
with a white fly-wise bend with on it with from top to bottom a green clover,
a red five-leaved rose and a green six-pointed star. The flag is nearly
identical to the Coat of Arms, derived from several noble families which had lived
here.
