    The nine thorns remind you to the nine thorns that were in our Lords crown, when he was crucified on Good Friday. That kind of a sore eye is called a sty.

  2. Cures

    There are many cures for warts, one I know is to get a stalk of dandelion and squeeze the juice out of it, and put the juice on the wart, do this for about a week.
    This is another cure for warts, get some acid from a battery cell and be very careful with it for it is poison; put it on the wart and your wart will be gone in two days.
