After all, there were only so few women who would marry a man with prosthetic legs.
Just when they were on the verge of despair, they heard a rumor.
Apparently, there was a child whose legs were gnawed away by a wild beast.
Starting from his thighs, there was nothing left of his legs.
But one year later, the child's legs miraculously grew back out.
Furthermore, it was not prosthetic, but the child's actual legs.
Although George and Ruby thought the rumor was somewhat unbelievable, they wanted to give it a try.
Eventually, they found the rumor's source to be an old man.
Despite his age, he had a sharp mind.
When George and Ruby verified the rumor with him, he insisted that it was a true story. They then glanced at each other.
"Are you sure you witnessed it with your own eyes? Could you have been mistaken?" Ruby confirmed with the old man again.
