CelticTen children were playing on a beach on a cold and foggy night. When a lost pony appears, the children are enchanted by the pony's beautiful black skin with skin so smooth it could be that of a seal. They begin to walk towards the pony as its mane drips, drips, drips as the water cascades down the pony's mane. Nine children climb onto the pony's back, touching skin so cold it could be death. The tenth child, unsure of the pony, keeps his distance, until the pony chases him. As the child ran, his fingers got caught in the pony's nostrils as his hand grazed the pony's nose. The other nine children are now sitting screaming on the pony's back when they realize they are sitting on the back of a kelpie. The kelpie starts running towards the water with the 9 children screaming on its back and the 10th child being dragged to the ground so close to its hooves. The tenth child, now desperate for freedom, pulls out his knife and saws off his fingers right at the water's edge and is freed while his friends are dragged underwater as the kelpie's skin becomes sticky. The tenth child goes and cauterizes his wound with wood from a nearby fire because he knows that at that very moment the kelpie is devouring his friends, leaving out the heart and liver. The Celtics have 18,584,000 people living in the nations said to have once had the Celtic religion within them and 2,882,100 people speaking the Celtic language in those nations now, because the Celtics have an interesting religion in many ways and because in many ways such as their history, mythology and culture are topics that can scare or delight any group of people who take the opportunity and learn about them.
