  1. Belief in Water-Horses

    Share Share Post
    One day there was a man who lived in Maghera down at the sea. He saw a horse swimming out in the ocean. The man began to shout and the horse swam towards the shore. Then he saw it was a water-horse and he ran quickly up the mountain and into a cave.
    The horse followed him but being too big he was unable to get into the cave so he returned to the sea again. Then the man got home safely.
