   Another Bard

   The other old man, who was over nintey when he died 6 months ago was just as good a story-teller and maker of rhymes. He, too, was always called "The Bard". This old man, as well as being a story-teller was an extraordinary herbal doctor. He could cure people when doctors left them to die - with herbal treatment.
