    (continued from previous page)
    he came to the ruins of an old house the horse stood, still, and refused to go any further. The man turned his horse and went back to the first turn in the road. Then he made the horse race in the direction of the house, but when he reached the house again the horse refused to go past. He turned his horse again and rode into the town. When he reached the town, he knocked at one of the houses and told what happened.
    He got lodgings until morning, when morning came he got his breakfast and after that he set out for home and reached it safely.
