“Once upon a time a crowd of men started to play cards. ...”
Once upon a time a crown do men started to play cards. They played all day Sunday and did not go to Mass. At six o'clock that evening a man came in and started to play. Some of the cards fell and one of the men picked them up and threw them outside the door, because he saw a pig's foot on the man and saw he was the devil.
