Life wAs Easy for the two of them. But one day he had a wheal come up which drove him crazy with its itching. He tried a number of creams from the pharmacy, but these only gave relief for a few minutes. So he poked around on the Internet to see if there was anything else. He found somebody recommending the use of a piece of shale bound to the wheal. So he told his wife that he just had to finish applying the glaze to his latest ceramic creation and then he would be off to find some shale. She started to plead with him not to be taken in by old wives tales, but he was adamant. He had to drive quite a way to a bleak landscape to find a small piece of shale. As soon as he bound it to the wheal, the itching subsided and he drove home a lot more comfortable (and a little smug, it has to be said).
