Paddy Shanahan was coming home from Lixnaw with a horse and car as he passed a fort his horse stopped and would not go for him. He wore the stick he had on him and he would not go. He went into an old woman's house and asked her for a stick and she gave him her walking stick. He wore it on the horse and he did not go then he sat down on the car to take a rest and while he was resting the horse walked away home.
