   When Saint Patrick was in Ireland, one day when he was passing by Kileen he went into a field to have a meal. Now it happened he had a horse and some oats for it. He sat down on a stone and the stone is in the very same spot yet. But when he was going into the field he had the oats and when he got to the stone he had none. He looked everywhere for it but he could not get it. It is said he dropped it and it disappeared into the ground.
