00:00They would tie a dog to the stem of the mandrake,
00:03then throw out some food and run away.
00:06When the dog lunged for the food, it would yank out the plant.
00:09Now they did this because the plant would scream, according to the legend,
00:14and anyone who heard it would die.
00:16But if the people were out of earshot, only the dog would be killed.
