LEGEND

MY FATHER (MR. KELLY) HAD A RACE HORSE THAT HE USED TO
PRACTICE EVERY NIGHT. ONE NIGHT AS HE WAS COMING HOME
AT DUSK, A MAN POPPED UP NEXT TO HIM, ON THE ROAD.
MY FATHER SAID, "HELLO, HOW ARE YOU," AND "WHAT DO YOU
WANT" BUT THE MAN NEVER ANSWERED. HE JUST KEPT WALKING
ALONG SIDE. HIS FACE COULDN'T BE SEEN FOR HE WALKED
SIDEWAYS. SUDDENLY, HE DISAPPEARED. WHEN MY FATHER GOT
HOME, HE WAS PALE AND HAD A HEADACHE. TWO DAYS LATER
THE HORSE DIED. THIS HAD BEEN A SIGN OF DEATH.
