- One evening a man was walking across the field after closing a gap on the cows. He met a dead man and he walked across the field with him. This time they had a foal sick and he could not get up or drink anything and the dead man told him not to give any medicine to to the foal for it was not right and that he would die. The other man said nothing for he knew. him The dead man told him go home as quick as ever he could, and just two saddled horses came on, and he followed them. Then the man went home and as he was telling what happened, the foal got up and went down to the horse and came up and died.
