The tiny village of Frinley is said to possess a 'cursed tree'. 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!
据说弗林利小村里有一棵被诅咒的树"。就因为报上提到的这棵树，所以现在来弗林利参观的增加。该树是五十年前种在教堂附近的，但只是近几年才得到了一个坏名声。这是说，如果有人摸了这棵树，谁就要倒霉；如果他摘了一片叶子，他就会死。很多村民相信此树已经害了不少人。人们曾请求教区的牧师叫人把树砍掉，但到目前为止他已经拒绝了。他指出，这棵树砍掉，但到目前为止他已经拒绝了。他指出，这棵树是一个有用的收入来源，因为全国各地的游客都来看这。尽管已说，游客们还是照常摘树叶和把他们的名字刻在树干上。到目前为止，还没有一个人突然死亡！
