“There was once a couple and they had a servant boy.”
(continued from previous page)that he would not overtake him alive if he would not hurry.
When the parish priest arrived, there was a quart bottle of whiskey and a glass on the table before him. The parish priest was very vexed to bring him out of his bed when he saw what was left on the table before him. The Curate told him to sit down and have a glass. "He also asked him would he like to see the devil and he said that he would not like to see the devil." He is in the stable said the Curate. The Curate asked him if he came out before him in the mountains what would he do. The priest said he would not have the courage to hunt him away. The Curate hunted him away himself.
