  1. Long ago a man named Jim Glynn was crossing a field in Gortaveha and he saw a white horse and a black cat on its back. The man went to see what was up and when he went near the horse he saw a crowd of trying to go riding on the horse along with the cat.
    When they saw him they all roared a followed the man for a bit. The man ran so quickly that he had to stand up. Then he looked back and saw the horse and cat and men going through a large stone.
