58 A Blessing in Disguise?

A blessing in disguise?

The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a ‘cursed tree'.

Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased.

The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago,

but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation.

It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die.
