Summary
A woman put a curse on a boy who laughed at her for being a cripple.
A woman who could put prayers (curses) on people told a lad who laughed at her for being crippled that within the week he would be in a worse state than her. He then had an accident in which he lost half his foot and was crippled for the rest of his life.
Jean Stewart will not tell of the prayers this woman put on her own parents.
