    Once upon a time a man from Carndonagh named Daniel Bovaird was going to Derry to sell a horse. On the way the horse died. He skinned the horse and went back to Carndonagh and sold the skin. He came over and told his people. He and all his people were very sorry about the horse. He went to bed and he wasn't long in bed till he heard a rap at the door. He got out of bed again put on his clothes and went to the door. He opened the door and what did he see but the horse.
