Chapter 1
Imagine that you found
a locked treasure chest
in a dark corner of your
attic. Under a thick layer
of dust and cobwebs, a chilling
curse was carved into the old,
wooden top. It said, “Those who dare
to open the chest will be cursed with
bad luck for all of
their days.”
Would you open
the chest?
WHAT IS
A CURSE?
Physical objects, such as
this chest, are sometimes
said to be cursed. What else
can be cursed?
