- There was an old man called Paddy. Paddy went out to sell a horse and a cart. He met a little man. The man said that he would give Paddy a magic dresser for the horse. Paddy was pleased. He went out early the next morning with a horse and cart to get the dresser. He was never seen again, and the horse and cart came home. There was blood on the cart.
- There were two big men who went for a drive in a car. When they got in they could not get out. It was a lonely spot. They met a man with a knife and he stopped the car. When he was cutting the top off the car he cut the head off each man.
