- There was a man on horseback one night very late.
At a lane in Gusserawn a young filly came galloping up and passed the man by. The man's horse would not go any farther. The filly disappeared and the man was not far on the road again when up came the filly after him. He kept galloping before him until he came to a crass road. The filly turned to go another road, and when he was turning he gave the man a crack of his tail in the eye. The man lost his eye. The filly was never seen there afterwards. No one ever knew who owned the filly. It was said that he was a fairy filly.(continues on next page)
