The Stolen Lump

Synopsis

In "The Stolen Lump," a man with a facial tumor takes shelter from a storm inside a hollow tree. Upon waking, he finds out that the forest is inhabited by mythical beings. He performs a dance for them, and as a reward, they heal his condition. Once back in his village, he tells another villager who also has a similar growth about this miraculous cure. This raises questions about whether the spirits will grant their healing to this second person as well.
