The Horse  [duchas:5029851]

Long ago a man who lived in St Mullins had an old horse which was not able to run very fast. He called him Finn mac Cool. He brought him to some race to run. When the race started people began to laugh at the horse as he was last. Before long the horse came second and the spectators were surprised. Just coming to the winning post he got first and won the race.
