Loc a Corra.
Another day James Smith went down to some field beside Loc a Corra .  He found a nice pony feeding on the field.  
He caught hold of her and brought her up to the barn.  He put her and gave hay.  After some time he went back to the barn to look at her.  And he found she had turned into a beautiful girl.  
When he opened the door the girl sprang out and she ran down and into Loc a Corra.
