    horse. The blacksmith said he would.
    The stranger then threw four legs of a horse into the forge. The blacksmith said "Sure these are no horse". Then the man said, "You have to shoe them because you promised me". The smith went to pick up one of the legs and suddenly it disappeared. The stranger held the leg then, while the blacksmith was shoeing it, and he did the same with the other three. Then he went away and took the legs with him.This happened about seventy years ago and was told to me by a neighbour.
