  • Why does the vicar refuse to cut down the tree?
    • 2
  • The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'.
    • 3
  • Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper,
    • 4
  • the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased.
    • 5
  • The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago,
    • 6
  • but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation.
    • 7
  • It is said that if anyone touches the tree,
    • 8
  • he will have bad luck;
    • 9
  • if he picks a leaf, he will die.
    • 10
  • Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims.
    • 11
  • The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down,
    • 12
  • but so far he has refused.
    • 13
  • He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income,
    • 14
  • as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it.
    • 15
  • In spite of all that has been said,
    • 16
  • the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk.
    • 17
  • So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!
