    Once a girl had a toothache. Some one told her that if she went to a graveyard and get grass off a grave it would cure her. One day she went to a graveyard and pulled grass off grave. The night when she was ready to go to bed she saw a hand coming in over the door. She heard a voice saying "give me the grass you pulled off my grave". The girl got the grass and put it into the hand. Then the hand disappeared.
