“One time as a man was passing the place where Garrett Fitzgerald is enchanted near Ardee, he saw men sleeping on the horses...”
One time as a man was passing the place where Garrett Fitzgerald is enchanted near Ardee, he saw men sleeping on the ground and a horn beside it. He lifted the horn and blew it three times. After each sound, the men on the horses started to move. He got afraid and dropped the horn. He ran to a house close by and filled his pockets with gold. When he was going away, the horse now spoke and said if he had to pull the sword as he had blown the horn, he would be the richest man ever was born. When he went on the road, he sat down to count his treasure but as he put his hand in his pocket, he found that all the gold had turned into clay.
