How to pronounce "cursed"

Let me tell you about Mahabuba.

She lives in Ethiopia.

She was married against her will at age 13.

She got pregnant, ran to the bush to have the baby,

but you know, her body was very immature,

and she ended up having obstructed labor.

The baby died, and she ended up with a fistula.

So that meant she was incontinent;

she couldn't control her wastes.

In a word, she stank.

The villagers thought she was cursed; they didn't know what to do with her.

So finally, they put her at the edge of the village in a hut.

They ripped off the door

so that the hyenas would get her at night.

That night, there was a stick in the hut.

She fought off the hyenas with that stick.

And the next morning,

she knew if she could get to a nearby village where there was a foreign missionary,

she would be saved.

Because she had some damage to her nerves,

she crawled all the way -- 30 miles --
