- (continued from previous page)Inquire after your horse, cross the flat field at the back of the house and go over to the firry hill and in a shed you will find your horse."
The priest, a police-man and a farmer took a horse and car and journeyed to the place they were directed to as fast as they could. When they knocked at the door of the farmer's house, they were told that the horse was not there.
They hurried across the field to the little hill and searched for a shed, but they could not find one. Finally, the police-man chanced to look behind a clump of firs and was very surprised to see a hidden opening into the hill, they all went in and found a clean, dry stable with three horses in it one of which belonged to the priest.
They brought the priest's horse home.
