[00:00.49]The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'.
[00:07.38]Because the tree was mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased.
[00:14.63]The tree was planted near the church fifty years ago,
[00:18.91]but it is only in recent years that it has gained an evil reputation.
[00:24.27]It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck;
[00:29.63]if he picks a leaf, he will die.
[00:32.45]Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims.
[00:37.90]The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused.
[00:43.59]He has pointed out that the tree is a useful source of income,
[00:47.92]as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country to see it.
[00:53.04]In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting their names on the tree-trunk.
[01:00.96]So far, not one of them has been struck down by sudden death!
