  1. A Story

    Share Share Post
    There was once a boy, and he was very beautiful. Every one who would see him would say he was lovely and would say "God bless him" One day an old woman met him, she said he was lovely but she did not say "God bless him". The neighbour said that she left an evil eye on him. The boy died before a few days.
