- One day a woman's husband was very ill and the woman was sitting at her door.
Then a man (woman) who was supposed to be a magician called at the house. He told her all about her family who died in it and who would die and about her husband. He told her that if she gave him a pound note here husband would not die.
She gave it to him and he went to the chimney and twirled the note up it.
Her husband did not die.
