    The Unlucky Bush
    The Unlucky Bush is a bush in my district. It is situated near an old churchyard. Several men tried to cut it but they all got killed at it. One man tried to cut it. He cut for two days. One the third day he sat down to rest and fell asleep. When he got up the bush was growing.
