An old woman called Auntie Misery is harassed by a gang of rowdy boys who throw rocks and sticks and smash her beloved pear tree. One day, the woman generously offers shelter to a stranger who in exchange grants her a wish – whoever touches her pear tree gets stuck and can’t come back down. The boys come back, get stuck and promise never to bother the old woman again. Sometime later a dark stranger comes to call. It is Death. In a desperate attempt to escape him, the old woman asks him to fetch a pear for her. He gets stuck in the tree and the world becomes overpopulated and miserable because everyone is immortal. Although Auntie Misery eventually let death out of the tree, she was granted immortality, and it is because of her that misery lives on in the world today.
