Two farmhands shared a room. One slept at the back of the room while the other slept near the door. After a while, the one who slept near the door began to feel very tired early in the day. His friend, concerned, asked what was wrong. “An awful thing happens to me every night,” he explained. “A witch turns me into a horse and rides me all over the countryside.” “I’ll sleep in your bed tonight,” his friend offered. “We’ll see if it happens to me, too.” While she was gone, the farmhand rubbed against the fence until the bridle came off, allowing him to turn back into a human being.
