mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree
was planted near a 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. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a
number of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has
refused. He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income as tourists have been
coming from all parts of the country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists
have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree trunk. So far, not one of
them has been struck down by sudden death.
