  1. Once upon a time a farmer cut a lone bush and placed it in the fence between his neighbour's field and his own. That night he dreamt he saw some man replacing the bush on it's trunk. Next morning h went out to the field to examine the fence the bush was gone and on looking round he found that the portion he had cut the previous day had been out back (in here) in its place during the night. From that out his cows would yield no milk and his fields would give no hay or corn.
