    (continued from previous page)
    The horse is a very clean animal. He will not use any inferior or dirty food. Some of them are very wicked. They are shod at the forge.
    A goat is the cleanest animal of all. He eats nothing but herbs and so the milk is very nourishing. They are lucky to run with cows.

    A man one time passed by Scallys. As he went he was turned into a black pig. He went towards Uisneach. He was shot by a man before he reached the Shannon. If he got to the river safely he would drown Ireland.
