- One day my father went to cut a lone bush in the middle of a field. There was a small piece of a branch in the way of the saw, so he cut that first. He left the branch on the ground and started to cut the bush. When he had the bush cut, he went to get the branch he cut first, but it wasn't where he left it. He looked around him, but it was nowhere to be seen. Then he heard a voice behind him saying "Never cut a lone bush again". He looked around, but saw no one.
