Well, she taken dat an' she wrapped it up good in some papah, must have been, an' it wus somepin like a pine tree - had a lot of leaves but away at de top, it was skinny at de bottom. An' she took dat an' she hung dat up in de tree. Well, she lived a.good while aftah dat. But den she began to git sick an' went to othah people dat knowed more dan she did, an' a man [doctor] tole her where it wus. An' she sent anothah lady dere to de tree. Dat othah lady got it down outa de tree but it wus too late, an' she wus almost dead. Yo' see dat jes' dried up - it wus, her blood wus up dere dryin' up. An' dat jes' dried up on 'er on earth.
