    “There was a certain man one time who lived in Galbally.”

    There was a certain man one time who lived in Galbally.
    One day he went to town on a white horse. When he was returning home the horse got frightened at a certain place. When the man looked back, he saw a fairy on the horse behind him.
    When the man reached home, the fairy had disappeared.
    When he got down from the horse the horse fainted in the yard, and died.
