  1. A man named Ross lived in Curry over a hundred years ago. He cut a lone bush in his own land. Next morning when he went out, he got his best cow dead, next morning another. He was getting angry and went out for his donkey to bring the cows to bury them but he got his donkey with his four legs caught in a tree and he almost dead. He was in time to save him. This was a lesson to him and he never cut a lone bush after that.
