   One night a young man was coming from rambling and when he came home his father was in bed. He went to close the door and he heard a horse neighing. He thought that his father had forgotten to put in the horse. The man went down into the field for the horse. The neighing came closer to him until it was beside him.

His son went out and looked in the stable, the horse was eating hay.
