- Once upon a time there was a man who had a white horse. It is said that he rode round the lake every seven years. One day a man went down to him with a brown horse. The man with the white horse swapped with the other man. That night the brown horse ran away. That man was the first man in Ireland that had two horses. He had a brown horse and a white horse for ever. that same night the man died. Before he died he asked to see his white horse and they told him that he ran away. The name of that man was O'Donoghue.
