  1. Deeds that Brought Bad Luck

    Share Share Post
    No 6. Once upon a time there was a step-mother, and she a step-daughter and she was very lame. The step-mother had a daughter and she used to make her walk lame, like her step-daughter in mockery. Sometime after her own daughter got lame and all the neighbours said that, that was a punishment for her for mocking her step-daughter.
