“‘I wish that anyone who climbs up my pear tree should not be able to come back down until I permit it.’”
One day, a traveler stopped at the old woman's hut and asked her for permission to spend the night under her roof.
With a heavy sigh like wind through a tomb, Senor Death climbed the pear tree.
And no matter how much he cursed and threatened, Aunty Misery would not allow the tree to release Death.
