    Many years ago there lived in Gailey a man, and his wife, and his mother. The wife was a great musician but the mother in law didn't like this because she was very old and she used to have a sore head. One day when the young woman was going out the door she stood for a while with her hand on the top of the door. When the old woman saw her hand she ran up to the door and shut the door and caught the young woman's hand. The young woman's hand was nearly cut off and the old woman said "Now you you play anymore."
