  1. A Charm

    Share Share Post
    There is a man living in Longford called Mr. Lloyd, he has a charm for curing warts.
    One time a girl had warts on her hand, she counted them and she sent another man into Mr. Lloyd to ask him could he cure them, he asked the man how many warts the girl had on her hand, the man told him. After a few days the girl had no wart on her hand.
