- A boy was out at night and the fairies put him on a horse and told him not to speak until he would come back. They went on a long way and the horse leaped across a river. The boy that was on the horse fell off and said "Good killed-rib." The horse ran away and left him there. He sat there and he saw them coming back and a girl with them. He took out a nail of a horse's shoe and hit her with it and she leaped off the horse and ran over to him. She brought him to the house she left and there was a greyhound dressed in the bed in the image of a girl. They shook holy water on it and leaped out through the window.
