    Share Share Post
    The was once a woman who wished her son to get married so he said he would go out next day in search of a wife
    As he was going down a lane from the house he heard a great tramping of horses
    When he reached the road five or six horses and men riding on them were coming towards him
    On one of these horses there was a woman riding behind a man so he ran over and pulled her down off the horse.
    The men and horses kept going and when they were gone out a few yards outside the lane they stood up because they thought she would break back from him to themselves but she did'nt she kept going with him home
