20160517：A blessing in disguise?是因祸得福吗？
The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursedtree'. Because the tree was
mentioned in a newspaper, the number of visitors to Frinley has now increased. The tree
was planted near the church fifty years ago, but it is only in recent years that it has gained
an evil reputation. It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck;if he
picks a leaf, he will die. Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number
of victims. The vicar has been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused.
He has pointed out that the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out
that the tree is a useful source of income, as tourists have been coming from all parts of the
country to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves
and cutting their names on the tree-trunk. So far, not one of them has been struck down by
sudden death!
