Thread: Any Doctors?

When I was a little girl, my grandmother and mother took me to see a lady who was known to be able to remove warts. Everyone said she could take warts off. Well, I didn't have many but I did have a few.

I thought she would be some kind of scary old witch. I was only about 8 or 9 and couldn't figure out how someone could magically wish your warts away. Inagine my surprise when we got to her house and she was just a grandmotherly old woman!

Anyway, she asked me how many warts I had and I told her six. Then she looked at each one. After she finished inspecting me she got up and went into another room. When she returned she had some pennies in her hand. She said that there was a penny for each wart. She advised that when I got home to put them up somewhere and to make sure they were safe. I was to keep them and never spend them or let anyone else spend them. If I kept my part of the bargain after a short time my warts would be gone.

Well I didn't want warts so I did as I was told. I can't say how much time passed but it wasn't long before those warts were gone and they never returned.
