The horse wanted to be shod so I brought him to the forge and got a new set of shoes on him with eight nails in each shoe, that was 32 nails in all.

At last I saw a pack of sheep feeding on the hill top, so up I went, caught a sheep, killed him, skinned him and coiled the skin round my horse's back.
