  1. Folklore Story

    Share Share Post
    One night a man was passing a fort and he heard talking and shouting inside. He went in to see what was going on. All around the fort there were hundreds of little men all dressed in bright colours. Then they began to say altogether a horse for me and a number of horses appeared on the field. The man was terrified.
    When he recovered he looked around and all he saw was one old grey horse grazing in the field. Any time that man was passing the fort after that he used bless himself.
