  1. A Lone Tree

    Share Share Post
    There are two or three lone trees in my land. A lone tree is very unlucky for one to have anything to do with. A lone tree is a big tree in the middle of a field. Most of them are white thorn trees. One time a man was cutting a branch off a lone tree near my house and a branch hit him on the eye he had to get out his eye. It is said that fairies live near lone trees.
