listening
one day a man who had never done anything wrong noticed that a tree was growing out of his head. this was not painful to the man, but made him feel awkward when other people were around. he asked his wife to chop down the tree, but she was afraid that he might bleed to death if she did. so instead he went to see a woman who could use charms to solve difficult problems. she lived in a hut some distance away and so the man had to bear the stares of all the people as he walked to her place.
the charm woman said he must have done something bad to have this happen, but the man insisted that he had always behaved well. in that case, said the woman, he must be planning to do something bad. she took a special herb out of her bag and said he must eat it every day for a week. he must also pay her two cows, for the herb was expensive, and it was not easy to stop trees growing out of people’s heads. the man promised to do that.
