“Once uopn a time a man was going home from playing cards.”
Once upon a time a man was going home from playing cards. He had to get out at a stile at a crooked tree a long the side of the road. He was living in Joe Coyle's fields in Balrathboyne. This night he was getting out at the tree and he saw a man standing at it. The stranger asked him would he have a game of cards and he said he would. Then they played a game and a card fell. The man stooped down to lift it up and he saw the devil's feet. He left the cards there and went home as quick as he could.- Collector
