  1. A man cut a bush in a fort and his hand got paralized. About a year after a travelling woman went into his house and asked him what happened his hand. He told her what happened. Then the woman told him to go to the fort the following morning and to put back the bush from where he cut it and to put sods around it and to do his best to make it grow again. He did what the woman told him and his hand got better soon after.
