Fat Woman In a Tree

Fat woman in a tree The old carob tree by the roadside had grown big leaning partly over the road and trucks often brushed against branches which caused the tree or the person in the tree to scream. We didn`t know a fat woman lived in the crown of the tree it was chopped down and its timber used to make headboards and kitchen tables: the fat woman who had lost her tree took abode in cracks in the wood and she was vengeful. Those with a wood kitchen table found their food disappearing and plates unexpectedly fall to the floor; it got so bad that many got rid of the table and bought a plastic one, which is the nearest one can find in a soulless product. For those who had bought a headboard of that tree, it was worst plagued by nightmares they struggle to get out of and the evil woman sat on young men`s chest till they suffocated. Not all trees are like that only on those where a fat woman lives and since she is invisible, it is hard to tell which tree. (Philippine fairy tale)
