    nothing but the peel of briars would stitch on the skin again. The briars were got and peeled and the skin stitched on the mare and she was soon going about as good as ever but the following spring the briars started to grow and soon bunches of blossoms appeared on the mare and in the autumn a fully ripe crop of blackberries were plucked off her and every year while she lived the briars grew and blossomed and the berries ripened and that's how she got the name of the blackberry mare.
