    him to go out and "wash his hands and face." The "devil" goes out and pretends to do so. He then comes and knocks again. The "angel" again says to the "devil" "Come in" and asks the "Devil" what does he want, and the "Devil" replies, "Colours" the "Angel" says, "Name the "Colours." Next the "devil" names out aloud colours, and when he says a colour that one of the girls has he stops. The girl runs and the "devil" runs after her and if he catches her she goes to "hell" and if he doesn't catch she goes to "heaven."
