118 Warts
If you have a wart you wish to rid yourself of, wait until you see some one riding on a white horse. Then put your finger on the wart, look at the rider and say, “I wish you had my wart—I wish you had my wart.” Then he will have it, and you won't.
You can cure your wart if you will steal a dishcloth, rub the wart with it, and then bury the dishcloth.
To get rid of a wart, steal a bean, split it, rub the halves on the wart, and throw them over your shoulder. At the same time say, “Go, wart,” and the wart will leave you.
Another way is to do the halves of the bean up, after you have rubbed the wart with them, in a pretty package, and put it in a likely place for some one to pick up. The person who unties the package will have the wart, which at the same time will leave you.
Still another way that is equally good is to sell your warts. A conversation like the following can be held with a friend:
Friend: Do you want to sell your warts?
Self: Yes.
Friend: Well, I’ll buy them.
Self: How much will you give?
