  1. Once upon at time there was a man out late at night and when he came home he went looking for his mare. He saw a mare in a field the same colour as his own mare. He jumped up on her back and she trotted down to Ballinglough lake and she sprang into the water. He jumped off her back in the water and he escaped.
