“Long ago the old people did not like to interfere with black thorn bushes but there was an old man that would not believe in it.”
Long ago the old people did not like to interfere with black thorn bushes, but there was an old man that would not believe in it. There was a black thorn bush growing in his own field and he said that he would cut it down. He was not long working when a branch of the tree fell on his leg and he was lead up. Then he believed what the old people told him.
