“There was once a woman who had only one daughter and she died.”
There was once a woman who had only one daughter and she died. The mother used to spend all her time weeping. One nigh as she was weeping the girl came to her and she told her not to be crying because every tear you shed is putting a red needle through my heart.
I am all right other wise.
The mother did not cry from that out.
