“Years ago there lived a wicked man.”
Years ago there lived a wicked man. He had a wife but she was very holy and every night she used pray for him. He was a gambler and every night he used play cards and take the money from his wife. One night as he was coming home he met a man and he asked him to play cards. The man said he had no money. I will play you for your soul" said the stranger. "All right" said the man. So the two men went into a hut and played. In the middle of the game a card fell and the man bent to pick it up and when he saw the man's feet he knew it was the Devil. He got such a fight that he fell dead on the floor. He was saved by his wife's prays.
