  1. (continued from previous page)
    lady came over the sea in a white horse. She asked him to go back with him and marry her. He went back with her and got married to her. One day he asked her could he go home she told him he could but not to touch the ground, as he was coming he saw people trying to lift a stone, they were building the church of Kilcorney. He bent down to lift the stone but he fell off his horse and became a withered old man.
