  2. Seán Burns and his brother had a horse and car bringing home a load of straw one evening. As they were going up a hill the horse was not able to pull the load so Seán said they would take out the horse and pull the load themselves. They took out the horse from the car and Seán's brother went in front to pull it. Seán went behind to push it and instead of pushing it he kept it pulled back. When they reached the top of the hill his brother looked back and said you have me killed. He died soon afterwards as he got very much hurt.
