  1. A Long time ago there was a lot of men playing cards in a house and while they were playing a strange man came in and asked could he play. He joined in the game, while he was playing a card fell.
    One of the men bent down to pick up the card and he saw a cloven foot. One of the men went for the Priest.
    When the Priest came he began to read and then the strange man went up the chimney in a ball of fire.
