from Ozark Magic and Folklore (p. 336) A woman at West Plains, Missouri, places her right hand on the closed Bible, makes a wish, and opens the book at random. She does this three times, muttering the same wish under her breath. If the opened Bible shows the words “it came to pass” three times in succession, she is sure to get her wish. This woman tells me that she has been doing this for many years, and that perhaps 90 percent of her prayers have been granted. “Of course,” she told me smiling, “ a body shouldn’t wish for somethin’ that ain’t reasonable.” * USING COMPLETE SENTENCES AND CORRECT PUNCUATION, IDENTIFY AT LEAST ONE CAUSE AND ONE EFFECT FROM THE PASSAGE ABOVE.
