  1. Deeds that Brought Bad Luck

    Share Share Post
    No.1. Once upon a time a man went to cut down a tree which was growing on the fence of the corn-haggard. While he was cutting it a crow came and sat on a branch of the tree and she began to caw The men that were cutting the tree didnt mind her. After a while the tree fell and the crow was killed. After that the man had no luck and the people said that the crow was the man that planted that tree first.
