- One time a man was cleaning a drain He had finished his evenings work and when he came to the drain the next morning he got a dead water horse in the drainOne time a man was ploughing and he let his horse out to graze for a while during the dinner hour. When he went for his horse again he saw a horse by the lake which he thought was his own horse. He put the head collar on him and he went on his back. As soon as he went on his back the horse sprang right into the lake and the man was almost drowned and the next morning he died.
