- Once long ago a girl had a lot of warts on her hands. She did not know how to get them cured. She did not like to go to the doctor with them, so she heard of a man who could give her a cure. The man came to her house. He gave her a pin and told her to touch the warts with it. She touched the warts with it one by one. He then showed her a rock. There was a little hollow ion the rock. He told her to put the pin into this little hollow.
