  1. One time a man went to cut white thorn bushes, he began to cut and when he was finished he went into the house. He was not long in until a woman came in and her two hands bleeding. The woman asked the man why did he cut the bushes and he said he wanted them, and she said that if he had to leave them alone he would have better luck and it was not long after till he drowned himself.
