TURNED TO STONE

A WOMAN WAS IN LOVE WITH A MAN BUT HE FELL IN LOVE WITH
AND MARRIED ANOTHER WOMAN. SHE WAS SAID TO HAVE
SUPERNATURAL POWERS AND SHE STARTED TO TURN THE
MAN'S WIFE INTO STONE. SHE FIRST TURNED THE WOMAN'S
FOOT INTO STONE, BUT DON'T ASK ME WHAT HAPPENED WHEN
IT GOT TO HER HEART.

Submitter comment: THE INFORMANT HEARD THIS STORY FROM HER MOTHER WHEN
SHE WAS A CHILD.
