or certainty.
The lesson begins by explaining that 'must' is used when

It is said that if anyone touches the tree, he will have bad luck; if he picks a leaf, he will die.
Many villagers believe that the tree has already claimed a number of victims. The vicar has
been asked to have the tree cut down, but so far he has refused. He has pointed out that the
tree is a useful source of income as tourists have been coming from all parts of the country
to see it. In spite of all that has been said, the tourists have been picking leaves and cutting
