  1. A Cure for a Blast

    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time my father told me that he had a calf. The calf used to go around in a ring. My father sent for a man whom he knew to be able to cure a blast. The man gave my father a rub to put on the calf. It was a green coloured medicine. After about a week the calf was as well as ever.
