“Once there was a man who was very fond of playing cards and lived alone.”
Once there was a man who was very fond of playing cards and lived alone. He would invite strangers to come in and play. One night when he was finishing up a game of cards, the stranger touched him on the hand and it was burned to nothing.

- Glasthule produces certain herbs from which cures may be obtained. For chilblains or sore feet grass is very effective. Keep running, through it for half an hour each day and the feet will soon begin to heal.
